walking by the heidelberg
a place that brims with happy noise
now sitting silent and empty
their words remind me –
‘be merry’
we need more of that.

it has need of a wise and merry philosophy.”

I love Lin Yutang. I’m so glad he wrote his books about a China I missed by only a few decades and is gone forever.
