"Fanfare of northwest wind, a bluejay wind" - Conrad Aiken; A Letter From Li Po... https://allpoetry.com/A-Letter-From-Li-Po
Tailor, man, what is this? An more universal than Whitman epic? Relationship Orient-Occident throughout the ages? Why isn't this poem more famous?
Two references that particularly caught my attention.
The overall reference to the oracle I Ching, The Book of Changes. And the border reference (X) to the Sugar Loaf. Brasil somehow at the edge of the occidental sphere.
Li Pos answer:
