In the city there is a maiden of beautiful brows; Pearls at her waist—how they tinkle and jingle! She plays with her parrot in front of the bloom; She strums her pipa-lute beneath the full moon. Her long song resounds for three months running; Her short dance is to be seen by thousands of men. There is no need for such a long tarrying— A heat-loving hibiscus can't withstand cold, anyway.

Love doesn't seem to last these days, so much sorrow, anger, divorce, separating, etc.

Yet again I am intrigued...
I am reminded of fascinating tales of folk lore laced with mysterious meaning that I loved reading as a child...
The scenes you create are enchanting...

It is quite a delicate matter, Jerry, . . like using a fan�you have the task of catching a feather on the fan. Every time you move the fan the feather is likely to be blown away. So, you have to hold out the fan quite still, just under the space through which the feather is sinking of its own motion. The feather then comes to rest on the top of the fan. You can imagine for yourself how difficult or easy this may be. Any use of force and the feather is lost. Yet once you apprehend the principle of impartiality, it becomes quite easy to perform; that's it.
