Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 "Spring-Watching Pavilion" by Ho Xuân Huong (~ 1776-1820) "A gentle spring evening arrives airily, unclouded by worldly dust. Three times the bell tolls echoes like a wave. We see heaven upside down in sad puddles. Love's vast sea cannot be emptied. And springs of grace flow easily everywhere. Where is nirvana? Nirvana is here, nine times out of ten." "Spring Essence: The Poetry of Ho Xuan Huong"; edited and translated by John Balaban; Copper Canyon Press, 2000 .. Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
