Gao Qi - Poems

Poems

Farm House

Gao Qi ( Ming Dynasty )

I heard Sound of spinning wheel

Mingled with sound of flowing water

Sight of wooden bridge,

flowerless trees in hazy spring

Where from the aroma the breeze brought so close ?

Ah, next neighbor is baking afternoon tea !

Famous quotes containing the word poems:

    “No poems can please for long or live that are written by water-drinkers.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    “Suppertime I float toward you
    from the stewpot
    holding poems you shrug off
    and you kiss me like a mosquito.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “This is what poems are:
    with mercy
    for the greedy,
    they are the tongue’s wrangle,
    the world’s pottage, the rat’s star.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
