Ezra Pound = not the greatest guy, but this translation is so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time… “And you have been gone five months” makes me tear up every time I hear it, absolutely flooring. Li Po of course is a genius, one of the greatest to ever do it man

This is embarrassing I Googled To Absence to just post it again and this linked rec I posted previously was the second result… anyway I adore his poetry! a lot of his poems are addressed to abstract concepts or inanimate objects and he has such a gift for restraint and economy of language

It isn’t perfect, but god damn do I fuck with this show. All the storylines are compelling and come together in a really fluid and unforced way. Sato is one of my favorite characters in a long while, and his arc through the show is so compelling. Solid 8/10.
