A collection of poems: some relate to philosophy and some to old Chinese poems to which Patty Ho has added new thoughts. Others are more musical. Love and pain, dreams and disillusion, leaves and memories, ashes and hopes, encounters and homecomings, sorrow and beauty; all are interwoven in the poems in this book. The notes contain Patty Ho’s translations of the Chinese poems quoted in the book. Patty Ho has an intense interest in English and Chinese poetry, philosophy and music. She found inspiration for her poems from the enlightening thoughts of great philosophers as well as from the poetry of the Tang and Sung Dynasties. This book integrates treasured quotations and inspiration from famous philosophers and poets (both Chinese and Western) across the centuries. Patty Ho’s essay ‘A solitary song for nothing’, which concludes the book, discusses poetry and philosophy.
