Yuan Mei. After The Rain

*
"A Feast of Lanterns", by L. Cranmer-Byng, [1916],

After The Rain

In the Pavilion of Green Purity

The green of the circling lawns is mirrored anew,

Across the crystal frontiers 2 that divide

Are smiling flowers and raindrops glancing through.

And lo, the strange blue void wells clear of the clouds

Like a sky beyond a sky, with a blue beyond the blue.

Footnotes

The great Cold Palaces of the Moon that drift here and there in the moon-mists, once visited in a dream by the Emperor Ming-huang.

94:2 The window-panes.
