  I desired my dust to be mingled with yours
- At sixteen you departed,
  
  You went into far Ku-to-yen, by the river of swirling eddies,
  
  And you have been gone five months.
  
  The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead
- moss is grown, the different mosses,
  
  Too deep to clear them away!
- Please let me know beforehand,
  
  And I will come out to meet you
  
  As far as Cho-fu-Sa

- Fanaticism? No. Writing is exciting

  You can never tell with either

- Who is excited? Might it be I?

- When three players on a side play three positions

- t after all, a place for the genuine.
  Hands that can grasp, eyes
  that can dilate, hair that can rise
  if it must, these things are important not because a
- high-sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because
  they are
  useful. When they become so derivative as to become
  unintelligible,
  the same thing may be said for all of us, that we
  do not admire what
  we cannot understand
- nor is it valid
  to discriminate against "business documents and
  
  school-books"; all these phenomena are important. One must make
  a distinction
- when dragged into prominence by half poets, the
  result is not poetry,
  nor till the poets among us can be
  "literalists of
  the imagination"--above
  insolence and triviality and can present
  
  for inspection, "imaginary gardens with real toads in them,"
  shall we have
  it.
