Some of these he recognised, and then pro- ceeded to write out rough translations of others that rose up in his memory. So much did their tenderness and flower-like fragrance delight me that I praised them with enthusiasm. " Ah well, " said he, " if you think so highly of these, what will you say, I wonder, when you read the Chinese poems ! They are much more beautiful ; they are much more philosophic. To-morrow, if you care, I will bring you some specimens and you shall see what they are like.... " So for a number of evenings he would sit opposite me, translating, as well as he could, those of his favourite poems which occurred to him, until 10 in a week some twenty-five were done. When I suggested that I would shape them into English verse and issue them in a book, he responded with naivete and animation, " My countrymen think much of the Chinese, but English people do not know any- thing about them. If you put these poems into your own speech perhaps they will understand why it is that we respect so highly the Chinese people.
