Oh had I rather un-admir'd remain'd
In some lone isle, or distant
Northern
land;
Where the gilt Chariot never marks the way, 155
Where none learn Ombre, none e'er taste Bohea!

A woman indeed, scorns my behest,
Since she wishes not what she should
But what's

Waley - 170 Chinese Poems |

THEY SAY--
They say I have a constant heart, who know
Not
anything
of how it turns and yields
First here, first there; nor how in separate fields
It runs to reap and then remains to sow;
How, with quick worship, it will bend and glow
Before a line of song, an antique vase,
Evening at sea; or in a well-loved face
Seek and find all that Beauty can bestow.
