Ancient Poet Comments

I am surprised to read your poem inspired by the very ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. Li Sao is considered as the longest romantic and lyrical poem on political ideal in the history of the classical Chinese poetry. Very unique. We just finished the annual Dragon Boat Festival (Duan Wu) on 30 June (the 5th day of Chinese lunar month, specially for memorizing Qu Yuan) . On this occasion, I see your work as a tribute to the great ancient poet. I’m glad his great piece still influences the people after thousands of years. World is large, but poetry is without borders. Time flies, but fine poetry never dies. Much appreciated, Etienne.

Thus unconforming to the modern age, The path I followed of a bygone sage.' This is a lovely tribute to the great poet Qu Yuan. Thanks.
