William Carlos Williams engaged under the impact of Cathay in an extended dialogue with Chinese poets through translations, whose effects are manifest in The locust tree in flower, The red wheelbarrow, and Complete destruction.
The locust tree in flower [Kora in hell] 1920
Among
of
green
stiff
old
bright
broken
branch
come
white
sweet
May
again
Complete destruction [Sour grapes] 1921
It was an icy day.
We buried the cat,
then took her box
and set fire to it
in the back yard.
Those fleas that escaped
earth and fire
died by the cold.
The red wheelbarrow [Spring and all] 1923
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
