Flânerie

"The crowd is his element, as the air is that of birds and water of fishes. His passion and profession are to become one flesh with the crowd. For the perfect flâneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the middle of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite." —Charles Baudelaire

Dreaming of Li Bai - Du Fu

The pain of death’s farewells grows dim.
The pain of life’s farewells stay new.
Since you were exiled to Jiangnan
– Plague land – I’ve had no news of you.

Proving how much you’re in my thoughts,
Old friend, you’ve come into my dreams.
I thought you were still in the law’s
Tight net – but you’ve grown wings, it seems.

I fear yours is no living soul.
How could it make this distant flight?
You came: the maple woods were green.
You left: the pass was black with night.

The sinking moonlight floods my room.
Still hoping for your face, I stare.
The water’s deep, the waves are wide.
Watch out for water dragons there.
