Question
One of these places called “Wheel” titles a collection of twenty quatrains depicting a poet’s family estate, each with responses by a fellow poet. Poets tried to write a poem before receiving a cup of wine in a “party” named for these places, such as the Orchid Pavilion Gathering. After his exile, the patriotic poet of “Encountering Sorrow” took his life at one of these places. The speaker resolves to “meet at last on the Cloudy” one of these places “of the sky” in (*) Arthur Waley’s translation of a poet who legendarily died in one of them. This sort of place, which partly titles a poem that begins, “While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead,” is paired with “mountains” in a style of Chinese poetry and painting. For 10 points, a poem attributed by Ezra Pound to Li Bai is narrated by the wife of a merchant on what natural feature? ■END■
