from Douglas Moore’s Art of Quotation
“Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption.”
James A. Garfield, president
from Douglas Moore’s Art of Quotation
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
You are standing on a bridge enjoying the view;
Someone’s watching you from a balcony.
The moon adorns your window;
You adorn someone else’s dream.
translated by Michelle Yeh
from the blog A Pondering Mind
there the distance
so far from here
this old heart
is weary
of roads of sails
of wings of rails
yet one step
taken
before this heart
turns away
A hundred days, free to go, and it’s almost spring;
for the years left, pleasure will be my chief concern.
Out the gate, I do a dance, wind blows my face;
our galloping horses race along as magpies cheer.
I face the wine cup and it’s all a dream,
pick up a poem brush, already inspired.
Why try to fix the blame for past trouble?
Years now I’ve stolen posts I never should have had.
translated by Burton Watson
***Written on his release from prison after 130 days and before leaving for a remote post which was essentially like exile again.
