Three philosophers or the three musketeers, Boris Karloff, Li Bai and an Indian companion, among others, ghost in and out of poems ordered according to the progress of the seasons.

Almost all the poems are in some measure love poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Later the sky will be a light blue yearning\u003cbr\u003e for the transcendence to which the river whispers. \u003cbr\u003e I kiss your throat. \u003cbr\u003e The black cat chases herself up and down the stairs. \u003cbr\u003e Shall we get up, shower and dress \u003cbr\u003e or otherwise, nakedness being no constraint \u003cbr\u003e on the best or worst we can do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48395857232121,"sku":"9781848615830","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/pv1G4Sy2039781848615830.webp?v=1778619224","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-river-and-the-black-cat-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
