was sleeping with lowered head. I could hear
nothing but the insects chirping shrilly on every side as though they
sought to join in my lamentation.

APPENDIX

An essay on Po Chuu-i, whose poems occupy most of this book, will be
found in "170 Chinese Poems." The fullest account of Li Po's life (with
translations) is given in a paper read by me to the China Society, and
published in the _Asiatic Review_, July, 1919. Notices of Ch`uu Yuuan,
Wang Wei, Yuuan Chen1, Wang Chien and Ou-yang Hsiu will be found in
Giles's "Biographical Dictionary." To Wang Chieh Po Chuu-i addressed
several poems.

Of the 68 pieces in this book, 55 are now translated for the first time.
Of the eight poems by Li Po, all but Number 6 have been translated
before, some of them by several hands.

Among the poems by Po Chuu-i, three (Nos. 11, 12, and 44) have been
translated by Woitsch[1] and one, (No. 43), very incorrectly, by
Pfizmaier. Another (No. 21) was translated into rhymed verse by Prof.
Giles in "Adversaria Sinica" (1914), p. 323. Ou-yang Hsiu's "Autumn" was
translated by Giles (with great freedom in many places) in his "Chinese
Literature," p. 215.
