Perhaps a metaphor of 'wind'? or possibly a misinterpretation?: "On the river, waves of a thousand feet,". Couldn't find Li Qiao in the wiki (found him here: https://www.cn-poetry.com/liqiao-poems/ ), but enjoyed the colorful and sometimes tragic history of poetry in China :)
A poem alluding to a Robin's song:

I don't think it is a misinterpretation. The high waves like the rest seem to be caused by the wind.

Desktop PC decided to lose the boot device... possibly after an update... had to research on my phone... finally learned a way to get into the bios and change the boot device to "default device". Still haven't repaired my laptop.
Pray your cold goes away soon.

"Enter without knocking, hard-working ant."."This morning " by Charles Simic

"T" our host was sick that day in 2011: "Still sick, and consoling myself with books and poems."
I think it's been a while for a poem by Simic... "You visit the same tailors the mourners do, / Mr. Ant. I like the silence between us, / The quiet—that holy state even the rain / Knows about." Wonderful poem :) ... And yet the following is a scathing critique I just cannot fathom... http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP109-DES106.htm
