"the sounds of wild geese / crying as they cross over, / each night after autumn night"

This past week, I hosted another round at poetry. I went in without any theme, starting with some bookmarks I'd saved to share here, and ended up with another mini-anthology with an arc:

Returning to Songshan Mountain, Wang Wei (trans. Mark Alexander)
The Need of Being Versed in Country Things, Robert Frost
"Of this fair volume which we World do name," William Drummond
The Poet and the Rose, John Gay
Kokinshu #213, Ôshikôchi no Mitsune
from Tamburlaine the Great, part 1, act v, scene 1, Christopher Marlowe
Drinking Wine, Tao Qian (trans. Mark Alexander)
