The Jade Mountain
A BRIEF BUT HAPPY MEETING
WITH MY BROTHER-IN-LAW
WITH MY BROTHER-IN-LAW
"Meeting by accident, only to part"
After these ten torn wearisome yearsWe have met again. We were both so changedThat hearing first your surname, I thought you a stranger—Then hearing your given name, I remembered your young face. . . .All that has happened with the tidesWe have told and told till the evening bell. . . .Tomorrow you journey to Yo-chou,Leaving autumn between us, peak after peak.
