Note in Eugene O'Neill's dairy of May 3 to May 5.
He planned to write a Chinese play about Shi Huangdi, the emperor who was building the Great wall. He was probably fascinated by the emperor's quest for immortality. Unfortunately, he never wrote the play, only a sketch of the intended play is preserved in the Beinecke Library of Yale University.
