Four Quartets
by
"Not as difficult on the surface as The Waste Land, but like the image that Jung found in a dream: A house, and beneath the house a basement, and beneath that a sub-basement, and beneath that long-buried bone, and the dirt, and rock."

The Gift
by
"I have read that this book is more the poems of the translator than Hafez; worth it just for "Who can hear the Buddha sing/If that dog between your legs is barking" and "My dear, is your caravan lost?/It is if you can no longer be kind to yourself/And loving to those who must live/With the sometimes difficult task of loving you.""
