Williams, William Carlos. To the shade of Po Chü-i. [MS sent to The little review ca. 1920].
The work is heavy. I see
bare branches laden with snow.
I try to comfort myself
with thought of your old age.
A girl passes, in a red tam,
the coat above her quick ankles
snow smeared from running and falling –
Of what shall I think now
save of death the bright dancer ?
Qian Zhaoming : The poem represents not only William's tribute to the Chinese poet but also his effoert to pursue his spirit and art form.
