I would love to see these poems printed in a book with beautiful illustrations from ancient Chinese art. They are almost too lovely to read on a laptop, especially not on a phone!
I often enjoy your translations over a cup of Chinese tea - 加油！ While it would thrill me to capitalize on the tea offers, I am regrettably only half employed and cannot spare it. Certainly will restack, though - always a pleasure, HyunWoo. 고맙습니다!
This newsletter always makes me want the same two things: go to the places described on the poem, and translate 300 brazilian poems. But this time it also peaked my desire for tea

I will be trying to get them published as a book soon!
It’s good to know that Chinese had eyeliner 13 centuries ago.
I’m guessing that female cosmetics are among the oldest human inventions, some time after the first stone hand axe, but not by much.
I didn't even know Chinese had a character that stands for eyeliner before translating this poem, 黛.
We know the Egyptians had eye makeup 50 centuries ago.
Well YOU knew that, but now we all do.
Yes. I was delighted to know Chinese women used blue eyeliner. And what a lovely metaphor it is.
not for tea, "не корысти ради"))
happy anniversary!
Thank you!

제가 더 감사해요! I appreciate your comment very much. Financial support is great, but encouragement is great too, and they are not mutually exclusive!

What about travelling to China and translating Brazilian poems while drinking tea? :)
