William, William Carlos. Prologue to Kora in hell.
Qian Zhaoming : Williams alludes not only to Yang Guifei, but also to Li Bo. He refers to Li Bo as a genius who 'is reported to have written his best verse supported in the arms of the Emperor's attendants and with a dancing girl to hold his tablet'. This story is taken from Giles' History. Williams attacks Pound and Eliot for copying the poetry of the past and of Europe.
