"The blackthorns down along the brook / With wounds yellow as crocuses / Where yesterday the labourer's hook / Had sliced them cleanly; and the breeze / That hinted all and nothing spoke."... Enjoyed :)

"Koenig knew now there was no one on the river."."Koenig Of The River" by Derek Walcott

(Tailor, I corrected the German word in the first line and in the title. I didn't correct it in the link, because the link might not work. Several versions of the poem contain the mistake.)
Noticed the typo, one of the multitude of words in German I still remember... also used in chess on occasion, there are a few other typos. Found the typo perpetuated on another page, but with an analysis that helped me with this wonderful poem... https://eliteskills.com/c/14838 Enjoyed :)

"Marriage is not". "Habitation" by Margaret Atwood

3-yrs study German in HS ages ago; prior ~3-yrs French; also tried "Duo Lingo" free app study for French a year? ago but couldn't keep up.

"New house Mengcheng entrance" - Wang Wei; Mengcheng Col... https://allpoetry.com/Mengcheng-Col
Good HS teaching two foreign languages. It is difficult to keep up with a foreign language, when there is no opportunity for using it. What helps me to maintain written fluency in English: LitNet and WLF :).
Thanks! Why any one would omit those two or three lines of the poem is a riddle to me.
" Mengcheng Col...". How much is expressed in four concise lines. The poet is not interested in the house itself, he merely points out its localization. He is interested in the feelings of the people that live/lived in it.

The AI analysis from eliteskills

Interesting tension in ED's poem... the AI offers some interesting explanations for lines that do not exist. I revisited the ED Riddle pages and found this: https://emily-dickinson-riddle.blogs...migration.html Enjoyed :)
"Roads not yet glistening, rain slight," - Du Fu; Rain... https://www.poemine.com/Du-Fu/Rain.html
Lol, this made my day." the AI offers some interesting explanations for lines that do not exist." Used to get crazy about those eliteskills analysis until it dawned that they weren´t human work. AI is so intelligent that it recreates the poem.
ED reminds me of an episode I witnessed these days. I make physiotherapy near my flat. From the window of the room one could observe a dove´s nest in a nook outside and the dove taking care of the eggs. The next day one of the two eggs was broken and the dove had disappeared. Since then the nest has been abandoned.
Beautiful poem by Du Fu!
