Poetry post!

Okay, so this is from a book of poems translated by Burton Watson, who claims in his introduction that, essentially, classical poems from China don't go for sexy.

And then he prints things like this:

Oh oh - ah ah -
thoughts of you will never end!
Your left arm I used for a pillow,
and when you turned on your side, I turned with you.
