There appears to be more than one cold mountain—the real
cold mountain is an absolute cold mountain—the rest are but limited buddhist
frauds.
Intent at this point is transcreate all or most of what i
see as absolute cold mountain—maybe less than 10% of the collection—but who
knows?
By reading three translations of a single poem, one sees the
poem that hasn't been translated. I call this triangulating the translations.
Just got a book called 19 ways of looking at wang wei with
19 translations of a single poem. In cribbage it's impossible to get a hand of
19.
Father and uncle playing cribbage on a red picnic table at
half moon lake—when one has zero for a hand, cards thrown in disgust crying
"19!"
Cribbage hand can score up to 29—also no 25, 26, 27 but 28
& 29 are quite rare—20 thru 24 will be seen making the absence of 19
noteworthy.
