(4.18) | 6 | This collection is made up of four sections: "Far West"--poems of the Western mountain country where, as a young man. Gary Snyder worked as a logger and forest ranger; "Far East"--poems written between 1956 and 1964 in Japan where he studied Zen at the monastery in Kyoto; "Kali"--poems inspired by a visit to India and his reading of Indian religious texts, particularly those of Shivaism and Tibetan Buddhism; and "Back"--poems done on his return to this country in 1964 which look again at our West with the eyes of India and Japan.

Crapulous old man, a drifter,
Praises! of Coyote the Nasty, the fat
Puppy that abused himself, the ugly gambler,
Bringer of goodies. | |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. About when the stars of the Skeleton
were paling in the dawn:

The thief who had just stolen a celadon vase
from the front of a store
Suddenly stopped those long black legs
Covered his ears with his hands
And listened to the humming of his mind. (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) | |
