lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
A poem's a Hamiltonian
    With several eigenstates:
Each readers' own wave-functions will
    Evolve at their own rates.

—8 December 1995

Written not long after dropping out of grad school. Despite the title, it's really aimed at arts-people ... using terminology only physicists will understand. So even without the wonky grammar in the last two lines, it's pretty much a failure. *moves file to trunk*

About

Warning: contents contain line-breaks.

As language practice, I like to translate poetry. My current project is Chinese, with practice focused on Tang Dynasty poetry. Previously this was classical Japanese, most recently working through the Kokinshu anthology (archived here). Suggestions, corrections, and questions always welcome.

There's also original pomes in the journal archives.
