Poems of the Late T'ang
translated by A. C. Graham
This is the volume which Roger Waters of Pink Floyd quoted in
his lyrics for 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun' and 'Cirrus Minor'.
The above is a scan of my own very old copy of the book (you can tell from
the prices how old it is!) Publication details are:
