lu chi_on poetry

By on poetry, quote No Comments

“The poet stands at the hub of the universe contemplating the mysteries…
Oblivious to sight and sound, he is lost in reverie… He fishes up living
words from the deep seas, and brings down beautiful images like birds
on arrow strings shot out from the clouds.”

— Lu Chi, Wen Fu: Art of Letters (302 AD)
