thank you - that's very kind. I'm not here much anymore, but I post my translations on occasion on substack or bluesky An anthology of Chinese literature I like is one by Stephen Owen (a former teacher of mine)

Remember this pensive 12th century Chinese general's poem the next time someone shits on small talk

La tardor, qīu 秋 aporta el component fonètic (gràficament la part de dalt) de la tristor, chóu 愁. Així, quan treus el pes del cor 心 que hi ha sota la tristor 愁 tens la bellesa de la tardor 秋 . Com passa en el poema.

Sharing one of my favorite poems since childhood. By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, who was sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands. Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid. “My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”
