Song of the Bowmen of Shu

Origin:
< Chin shù Shu   /ʃu/ Show Spelled
[shoo] Show IPA
Shu
–noun Egyptian Religion .
the god of the air, sometimes represented with arms upraised, supporting
the vault of heaven. "The enemy is swift, we must be careful.
When we set out, the willows were drooping with spring,
We come back in the snow,
We go slowly, we are hungry and thirsty,
Our mind is full of sorrow, who will know of our grief?" The poet speaks of
the grief.

let's fix line 16 : three

This poem is the basis of two Guy Davenport publications and I have just
linked this page to the Guy Davenport Wikipedia entry. So more people may
be coming here for the poem.

THANKS for providing this site!!!!
