"All the translated poems are divided into sections. In keeping with Chinese tradition, I call them scrolls. This allows me to take them out of their satin-bound cases with bone clasps, hang them on the wall, and admire them, like a connoisseur of ink painting admires a rare landscape, and then put them away again, lest the eye become accustomed to them and lose the freshness of perception so prized by the Chinese. For me (and I hope for the reader as well), this is a kind of game—tossing pebbles into a stream, something the Chinese poet so loves to do. For him, play is both fun, entertainment, and a very serious expenditure of mental effort, since the deep essence of any game is that it corresponds to cosmic rhythms and somehow expresses the pulsation of the Universe."
