If you are coming down through the narrows of the river Kiang,
Please let me know beforehand,
And I will come out to meet you
As far as Cho-fu-sa.
Ezra Pound, "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter"
Leaving the house, the plow and the plum tree,
I pass the five-barred gate.
In the river the fishermen cast their nets.
I do not meet you on the mossy bridge,
Nor at the stream with its stepping stone.
The great bridge is broken;
How then should I cross?
The torrent would spoil my brocade slippers.
The thicket would tear my silken robe.
Surely your horse went southward,
Along the iron road.
The yellow leaves float on the stream;
A butterfly drinks by the ruined walls.
A narrow trail climbs Green Mountain
Beside the rocky pass.
From its summit I will gaze.
If there I do not see you,
On the mountain's slope I will wait for you,
In the shade of the eldest beech.
Please let me know beforehand,
And I will come out to meet you
As far as Cho-fu-sa.
