This world—
call it an image
caught in a mirror—
real it is not,
nor unreal either.—Minamoto no Sanetomo (1192-1219, translated from Japanese by Burton Watson)

Autumn
the sky huge and clear
the marsh miles from farms and housesoverjoyed by the cranes
standing around the sandbarsthe mountains above the clouds in the distance
this water
utterly still
in the duskthe white moon overhead
I let my boat drift free tonight
I can’t go home.—Wang Wei (701-61), “Floating on a Marsh” (trans. from Chinese by David Young [Five T’ang Poets, 1990])
