一语，

Those poems were recited by you? If so, I'll be very much glad. Firstly, the deep voice is touching and amazing. Secondly, this is the very voice of yours which is extremely cordial to me. It is only now that I really know you love poems so much. Do you often write poems? If so, I'd like to appreciate them.

Dear Song，

First, the bad news is the mentioned pigeons lovely-nested disappeared from the balcony , and their cosy nest built was devastated now by the renovation work supposedly to give only a better look to the balcony. The couple landed in to take a look, and sadly flew away.

No, I wrote very few, but I felt bit of it in me, for I do it too emotionally maybe. Even those three poems were recited with inner excitement. I had been in business for quite a while in most of my history of employment though. These are only things I am crazy about recently.

When returned from an auto service where a Turkey friend recently brought, it's almost late, however, the night sky still bright with summer sunlight.

I read your “On translation of 孔子, -Kongzi, and the way of learning" with care. Deep as it is, it requires decent inner edification and life experience to be able to feel the essence of it. Also, I felt the power of the ancient convention and wisdom that admired by Europeans and many now.

Yes, I recited them only yesterday, for the Canada day, of a thought that I had never done anything fancy for the country that I am living in, secondly, I really like those poems written by those soldiers died in foreign land a half century ago. Given, the topics are immortal as death, fear, and love for the motherland? But killings, or to be killed as prosed and your mentioning too.

Thanks for the technology, Mp3, software, and so on so forth, like it says, it is quite handy to make the impossibles possible; I am also surprised when one online friend, who did the audio editing, tells me that it is made mixing with one part of the chapter two from Dvorak's Symphony Number 9. which goes pretty well with the emotion. Surprising!

So glad that you liked it, and felt not uncomfortable in listening to it. I have a plan to try a bit more of it in the next couple of weeks, as to taste the diversities of the poems in English language, that I have been fascinated by the 'music' and 'river-flowing' as it is in some other languages as well.

Will appreciate if you would have time and advise a few poetry books, now, I have "Pauline Johnson, Soldier Poetry, and John Donne at hand.

The lake is dark now, and night deep， but I like home-working late at nights.

So long , till then enjoy the weekend,

Lake-Shore,
Burlington Ca.

A piece of paper O'er the lakes, which is foggy in the morning.
