[dragon_of_wei]

In dedication to an acquaintance of mine, I am willing to share a few notes I have written focusing on the Art of War. My fellow poetry lovers, please forgive me for this posting tonight for there shall be no poetry here.

Please enjoy.

The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
It is a matter of life and death

Accurate, if somewhat elementary. Aiming to provide a basic introduction to the old master's work?

[dragon_of_wei]

Indeed, I needed to start my friend off with the basics of war before going into the more advanced methods spoken about in later works by the Master.
There is so much to talk about and this not including the Thirty-Six Strategies...

[smokydemon]

Well, one could spend a lifetime in discussion of those. Plenty have.

Who's this friend of yours that needs the basics spelt out for him?

Her name is 'Susan' and she seems quite fond of such literary works!

Unlike you and I, she is not a fan of poetry...

Ah, a lady friend, is it?

Shame about the poetry, though.
