A Birthday Offering for Lee Hye-Ku

To Dr. Lee Hye-Ku

On His Sixtieth Birthday
YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT
Honored age in a country in many ways young to grow,
I imagine you now in Orient calm
Before the tilted granite mountains of your city,
Passing in and out with friends
Below bright lacquered eves,
Discoursing some of serious noble musics,
and then, with sentimental nod,
Of private things.
The ducksoo peonies will blossom soon in Seoul-
Here the golden acacia glows beside the road -
(You will remember, dear friend, our constant flowers)
I heard that you had lost a wife and I was sad.
This year I found a friend, and he and I now hang
Our beard-shears on the same nail
Here in Aptos.
What marvels you taught me there,
Near palaces and lotus lakes --
Breath-taking turns of tune,
The warbled ornaments -
Bird-shaken beauties in the air,
These you led me to,
and disclosed in reasoned tracts
More and Wondrous ancient trackings -
Notes between notes,
Tones ancillary like branching shoots
To bear whole new and later musics.

On wall in ancient tombs you find faint dancers
Stir to flutes and drums,
and in the ground of many tongues verse,
In histories and diaries
Seek source and vision of the lovely music.
Korea is rich in your love,
and you generous to give the world of it.

My Friend
Enjoy your lovely age!
April 25th
Aptos
Lou Harrison
