- 0:05Speaker 1: Org by Larry Wilson. One. The illimitable leaping of the sea,
- 0:14Speaker 1: the mouthing of his madness to the moon, the seething
- 0:17Speaker 1: of his endless sorcery, his prophecy no power can attune,
- 0:22Speaker 1: swept over me, as on the sounding prow of a
- 0:25Speaker 1: great ship that steered into the stars. I stood and
- 0:29Speaker 1: felt the awe upon my brow of death and destiny,
- 0:33Speaker 1: and all that Mars. Two. The wind that blew from
- 0:39Speaker 1: Cassiopia cast wanly upon my ear, a round that rung.
- 0:44Speaker 1: The sailor in his eyrie on the mast sang in
- 0:47Speaker 1: All's well. That to the spirit clung like a lost
- 0:51Speaker 1: voice from some aerial realm where ships sail on forever
- 0:55Speaker 1: to no shore, where time gives immortality the helm and
- 1:00Speaker 1: fades like a far phantom from life's door. Three? And
- 1:08Speaker 1: is all well, o thou, unweariable launcher worlds upon bewilder'd
- 1:13Speaker 1: space rose in me all? Or did thy hand grow dull?
- 1:20Speaker 1: Building this world that bears a piteous race?
- 1:24Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:24Speaker 1: Was it launched too soon or launched too late? Or
- 1:28Speaker 1: can it be a derelict that drifts beyond thy ken
- 1:32Speaker 1: towards some reef of fate on which oblivion sand forever shifts. Four.
- 1:40Speaker 1: The sea grew softer as I questioned, calm with mystery,
- 1:44Speaker 1: that like an answer moved, and from infinity there fell
- 1:48Speaker 1: a bomb. The old peace that God is though all unproved,
- 1:55Speaker 1: the old faith that though gulfs sidereal stun, the soul
- 2:00Speaker 1: and knowledge drown within their deep. There is no world
- 2:04Speaker 1: that wanders know, not one of all the millions that

- 2:25Speaker 1: Rice read for Lebrevox dot Org by Larry Wilson. In Japan,
- 2:34Speaker 1: where the fair golden idols sit in darkness and in silence,
- 2:38Speaker 1: while the temple drums beat solemnly and slow, Where the
- 2:42Speaker 1: tall Christomerias sway in worship round about, and the rain
- 2:46Speaker 1: that is falling whispers low. I can hear strange voices
- 2:51Speaker 1: of the dead and forgotten. On the dimly rising incense.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I can see the lives I have lived, and my
- 2:58Speaker 1: lives unbegotten. Namu amid the Bsu pity me I was
- 3:05Speaker 1: born this karma of a mother of Chuzenji, where nan
- 3:09Speaker 1: Thaizan looks down into the lake where the white thronged
- 3:13Speaker 1: pilgrims climb to altars in the clouds, and behold the
- 3:16Speaker 1: holy Eastern dawn awake. It was there I wandered till
- 3:20Speaker 1: a priest of the Christians with the crucifixy war compelled
- 3:24Speaker 1: my gaze. In grief I had groaned. So upon its
- 3:29Speaker 1: grief I pondered, namu amid the butsu keep my days.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It was wrong. He told me to pray jiso for
- 3:39Speaker 1: my children, and being Zuru for healing of my ills
- 3:43Speaker 1: and our gods. So many were conceived, he said in
- 3:46Speaker 1: sin from Lord Shaka to the least upon the hills.
- 3:52Speaker 1: In despair, I listened for my heart beat hopeless. Not
- 3:56Speaker 1: a temple of my land had helped me live. But
- 3:59Speaker 1: alas that day when I let my soul be christened,
- 4:03Speaker 1: namu Amidbtsu O forgive for the christ they gave me
- 4:08Speaker 1: and the only law and losis as the only way
- 4:12Speaker 1: to light that will not wane. May perchance have power
- 4:15Speaker 1: for the people of the West. But to me, he
- 4:18Speaker 1: seem'd the serviture of pain, for in pain he perish'd
- 4:23Speaker 1: as one born to passion. In some other life. No
- 4:26Speaker 1: doubt his sin was great, though they told me no
- 4:31Speaker 1: those who followed him and cherish'd namu amidbutsu such is fate.
- 4:37Speaker 1: So again to idols of the Buddha, who is boundless.
- 4:42Speaker 1: While the temple drum is beating through the rain, I
- 4:45Speaker 1: have turned from treason into meditation's truth. From the strife
- 4:49Speaker 1: the Western gods regard is gain. And if now I'm dying,
- 4:54Speaker 1: as the voices tell me, to the lives that I
- 4:57Speaker 1: must live, I'll meekly go till my long grief ends
- 5:01Speaker 1: in nirvana. And my sign I mean, would be it so?

- 5:44Speaker 3: the boom of the bitter bell. Now you're gone, and
- 5:47Speaker 3: my tears fall thickly. How of heaven do the gods
- 5:52Speaker 3: make hell? The semi is silent, autumn rains, the wing
- 5:57Speaker 3: bells tinkle, how chill it is. The quick lights come on,

- 6:14Speaker 3: haunting love will not cease to cry. Come Obaku, eater

- 6:47Speaker 4: LibriVox dot Org by Connor Eustace. The summer has come,
- 6:52Speaker 4: the summer has gone, and the maple leaves lift fairy
- 6:57Speaker 4: hands that ripple upon the winds of dawn where the
- 7:01Speaker 4: dim pagoda stands. They ripple and beckon, yearningly to their
- 7:07Speaker 4: sister fairies over the sea. But help comes not. So
- 7:12Speaker 4: they fall and flee from autumn, over the sands and
- 7:18Speaker 4: down the mountain and into the tide. Some are blown
- 7:22Speaker 4: where the sampans lide, and some are strewn by the
- 7:27Speaker 4: temple side, and some by the tory. But autumn, ever
- 7:33Speaker 4: pursues them till as ever before, she has her will
- 7:38Speaker 4: and leaves them desolate, dead and still ravish. The far
- 7:43Speaker 4: and wide leaves them desolate, crying shrill. No beauty shall abide.

- 8:02Speaker 5: Typhoon at Hong Kong by Kale Young Rice, recorded for
- 8:08Speaker 5: LibriVox dot Org by Jude. I was weary and slept
- 8:14Speaker 5: on the peak. The air clung close like a shroud,
- 8:19Speaker 5: and ever the blue flies buzz in my ear, hung
- 8:23Speaker 5: haunting and hot and loud. I awoke, and the sky
- 8:29Speaker 5: was done with awe and a dread that soon went
- 8:33Speaker 5: shuddering through my heart, for I knew that it meant typhoon. Typhoon.
- 8:42Speaker 5: In the harbor below, far down, the junks, like foul
- 8:47Speaker 5: in a flock, were tossing in wingless terror, or fled
- 8:52Speaker 5: fluttering in from the shock. The city a breathless bend
- 8:58Speaker 5: of rooms by the water, strewn lay, silent and waiting.
- 9:03Speaker 5: Yet there was none within it, but said typhoon. Then
- 9:10Speaker 5: it came like a million winds gone mad, immeasurably, a
- 9:15Speaker 5: torrid and tortuous tempest, stung by rape at the fair
- 9:20Speaker 5: south sea, and it swept like a scood escaped from
- 9:26Speaker 5: craters of sun or moon, and struck as no power
- 9:31Speaker 5: of heaven could or of hell typhoon typhoon, and the
- 9:38Speaker 5: junks were smitten and torn. The drowning struggled and cried
- 9:45Speaker 5: or dashed on the granite walls of the sea in succerless.
- 9:50Speaker 5: Hundreds died till I shook the sight from my eyes
- 9:55Speaker 5: and prayed for my soul to swoon. If I ever
- 9:59Speaker 5: see God's fates, let it be guiltless at that typhoon.

- 10:36Speaker 4: where coconut palms along the shore are waving, and the
- 10:41Speaker 4: gates of peace shut sorrow out forevermore. I want to
- 10:48Speaker 4: go back and hear the surf come beating in at night,

- 11:13Speaker 4: Singapore and up along the straits to the bungalow that
- 11:17Speaker 4: waits me by the tide, where the Tamil and Malay
- 11:22Speaker 4: tell their lore at evening and the fates have set
- 11:26Speaker 4: no toothless canker at life's core. I want to go
- 11:31Speaker 4: back and mend my heart beneath the tropic moon while
- 11:36Speaker 4: the tamarind tree is whispering thoughts of sleep. I want
- 11:41Speaker 4: to believe that Earth again with Heaven, is in June.
- 11:46Speaker 4: I want to go back to Penang. I want to
- 11:50Speaker 4: go back. I want to go back to Singapore and
- 11:55Speaker 4: ship along the straits to the Bungalow. I left upon
- 12:00Speaker 4: the strand where the foam of the world grows faint
- 12:05Speaker 4: before it enters and abates in meaning as I hear
- 12:08Speaker 4: the palm wind pour. I want to go back and
- 12:13Speaker 4: end my days some evening when the cross on the
- 12:17Speaker 4: southern sky hangs heavily far and sad. I want to
- 12:23Speaker 4: remember when I die that life elsewhere was lost. I
- 12:29Speaker 4: want to go back to Penang. I want to go back.

- 12:58Speaker 4: and the far heat likening plays on the rim of
- 13:03Speaker 4: the west, where dark clouds nest on a darker bank
- 13:08Speaker 4: of haze. When I lean o'er the rail with you
- 13:12Speaker 4: that I love, and gaze to my heart's content, I
- 13:17Speaker 4: know that the heavens are there above, but you are
- 13:21Speaker 4: my firmament. When the phosphors stars are thrown from the bough,
- 13:26Speaker 4: and the watch climbs up the shroud, when the dim
- 13:30Speaker 4: mass dips, as the vessel slips through the foam that
- 13:34Speaker 4: seeds aloud, I know that the years of our life
- 13:39Speaker 4: are few, and fain as a bird to flee. That
- 13:44Speaker 4: time is as brief as a drop of dew. But
- 13:48Speaker 4: you are eternity. End of poem. This recording is in

- 14:23Speaker 6: grave in praise of Lord Gautama, all night long, where
- 14:29Speaker 6: the lone spire scents its golden height to the starry light.
- 14:34Speaker 6: He hears their tune and watches the moon, and fears

- 15:49Speaker 6: desolate in their odor. Midnight goes, but he watches still
- 15:55Speaker 6: by each cold spire, the moon sets fire, by every
- 15:59Speaker 6: poor whose silvery calm pillar and jeweled porch pray under.
- 16:08Speaker 6: Is it dawn that is breaking? No, only a star
- 16:12Speaker 6: that falls in the sea, Only a windbells louder flow
- 16:16Speaker 6: of praise to Lord, to go Tarma, faithless dawn with
- 16:22Speaker 6: elusive feet. It comes too late to ease his fate.

- 23:49Speaker 7: sitting watching them wind their silent way over your wistful tomb,
- 23:55Speaker 7: watching the crescent prow of the moon among them, flitting
- 24:00Speaker 7: fair as the shallop that bore your soul to Paradise's room.
- 24:05Speaker 7: Under the Indian stars, with palm and people about me,
- 24:10Speaker 7: with dome and kiosk and minaret mounting against the sky.
- 24:15Speaker 7: I seem to see your face in all the fairness,
- 24:18Speaker 7: without me, in all the sadness that fills my heart,
- 24:23Speaker 7: to hear your lovers cry under the Indian stars, I
- 24:28Speaker 7: look for your jasmine tower along the river, whose barren
- 24:32Speaker 7: bed lies gray beneath the moon and through its magic doors.
- 24:37Speaker 7: You seem like a spirit flower wandering back from Allah's
- 24:41Speaker 7: born to seek for some lost boon. Under the Indian stars,
- 24:48Speaker 7: I see you softly moving among your jewel lit maidens.
- 24:52Speaker 7: There a sweet and ghostly queen, and the scent of
- 24:57Speaker 7: attar flung in your marble form seems proving that passion
- 25:03Speaker 7: never can die from love. If truly love has been
- 25:08Speaker 7: under the Indian stars, he comes the shadow of Allah Jeha,
- 25:14Speaker 7: the Lord of magnificence, the liege who holds your heart.
- 25:19Speaker 7: The silver doors swing back, and alone with him you hallow.
- 25:23Speaker 7: The armorous knight, whose moon has made such visions in me,
- 25:28Speaker 7: start under the Indian stars. But the end of all
- 25:34Speaker 7: is moaning. I hear his dying breath, that from your
- 25:38Speaker 7: tomb shall never die. For every jasper flower he set
- 25:43Speaker 7: in its dream seems loaning to beauty, a grief mumtazmahel
