This clock receives atomic ticks,
    Correcting slower, faster;
We set post-blackout clocks by it,
    The slave in turn our master.

My pretty good home page

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.
