Seasonal metaphor - from David Stafford

Spring is a bit sad on this side of the lawn, and it is well known that sadness unleashes all kinds of metaphors. This one is by Liu Tsung-yuan and translated by... Mitzi Gaynor? You mean Mitzi Gaynor the dancer? :-)) Who would have thought?!...
Thank you David, nice combination of text and illustration! And funny as usual...

That's David as we know him :-))

Marie, Kenneth Rexroth was a US poet who did translations and whose work shows, you know, the Chinese-Japanese influence. No known connection to Mitzi Gaynor. This doesn't strike me as a Rexroth poem necessarily...

So Mitzi was a bit like you adding your own haiku into Frogpond?

Yes, few people know that Mitzi gave Kenneth Rexroth a run for his money... though she wasn't too good at last lines which tended to drift into her own vernacular.
