A Sinological translation of The Man from Nantucket:

In ancient times, on Nantucket Island, there was an unmarried young man
Whose [employment of a?]* private detective was so protracted that it caused financial losses,**

* (or “tenure as a”)
** (Yingyu da cidian, s.v. “suck it,” definition 4)
That stylish young poet, John Keats,
Was shocked when he first met Will Yeats,
For the latter was clad
Like a suburban dad
In tennies and t-shirt and sweats.
Shorter Keats:

Though it verges upon the perverse,
Beauty's better than Truth, which is worse.
Modern poets can't do
All the things the Greeks knew,
'Cos we've taken an urn for the verse.

The entire point of living in Manhattan is you don't need to own a car. If you're driving from 61st St to 79th St on a regular basis I sincerely hope you die
