This Is A New Release Of The Original 1919 Edition.
1919. One book found in the Wisdom of the East series. Today,
throughout Mohamedan and Parsi India and in Persia, three books are
taught in the schools. The Book of the Gulistan, or Rose Garden,
was finished when Sa'di was over sixty years old. It contains both
prose and verse. Most often the prose tells the story and the verse
points the moral; yet here and there the tale is in verse, and
there are also many beautiful quatrains and couplets scattered
throughout the book. The roses of Sa'di are very real, not merely
heads bound upon artificial stems, but roses girt with all their
thorns about them.

A Lute Of Jade: Being Selections From The Classical Poets Of China.
INTRODUCTION LITTLE under three hundred years, from A .D. 618 to
806, the period of the Tang dynasty, and the great age of Chinese
poetry had come and gone. Far back in the twilight of history, at
Ieast 1,700 years before Christ, the Chinese people sang their
songs of kings and feudal princes good or bad, of husbandry, or now
and then songs with the more persoilal note of simple joys and
sorrows. All things in these Odes collected by Confucius belong to
the surface of life they are the work of those who easily plough
light farrows, knowing nothing of hidden gold. Only at rare momonts
of exaltation or despair do we hear the lyrical cry rising above
the monotone of dreamlike content. Even the magnificent outburst at
the beginning of this book, in which the unhappy woman compares her
heart to a dying moon, is prefaced by vague complaint Sly brothera,
although they support me not. Be angry if I speak of my sadness My
anger is so great...
