From the even more ancient age of 67, I salute you!<br /><br />Maybe it's hard-wired into us as a sort of population control, Martin. Hard to make sense of it.<br /><br />Too true, Brian.<br /><br /> Waley did lots of wonderful translations fro the Chinese and Japanese, Paul, as did Kenneth Rexroth.
