when Martin Buber's I and Thou came into the bookstore, i said, "this one is worth all the rest in that section put together."

maybe i'll think of some others...

Thankee, two fingers to the brim of my cap to you.

Buber one knows about, not that particular text.

Chuang Tzu is new to me - I was interested to see it was translated by James Legge. He did a lot of Chinese translation, associated with some people I was once connected with.

I was looking up a text for Herself and came upon this site.

I am not myself a primary poetry consumer, but some are, and this covers quite a bit of ground:

Where else are you likely to find Sikh poetry side by side with this from 8th century China:

My heart is the clear water in the stony pond.
Right now it is invaded by the peach-blossom shadows.
As soon as I arrive at heaven's palaces
I shall settle down with my seven-stringed lute.

I need to lose those peach-blossom shadows, me.
