Book excerpt: Excerpt from More Translations From the Chinese While many of the pieces in 170 Chinese Poems aimed at literary form in English, others did no more than give the sense of the Chinese in almost as crude a way as the two examples above. It was probably because of this inconsistency that no reviewer treated the book as an experiment in English unrhymed verse, though this was the aspect of it which most interested the writer.
