   In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear.

   It does. Marvelous stuff, too. I don’t know why, but I’ve always found Chinese art and literature to be puzzling and intimidating. Lazy brain, maybe?

   (Speaking of lazy, a hyperlink might be prettier + easier than having to copy and past the link from the body of the post into the address bar.)

   Frederick, I’m just writing a brief post on your translation. What did you mean, in your introduction, that “there is also to my ear a regular stress pattern”?

   Does this mean there *is* a stress pattern? Or does it mean you *hear* a stress pattern with *your ear* but that there might not be one to someone else’s ear? Do you speak Chinese well enough to know? This seems an odd statement.
