Haha guess so. He's retired now though so I guess he just sits in his house in Princeton reading books instead of teaching students wrong things.

To his credit his classes were the hardest I ever took in college because he wouldn't abide by other interpretations. Either you used the class to figure out his sensibilities so that your essays would reflect the type of interpretation he liked, or you would get marked down for not analyzing the text correctly.

Poem by Gu Cheng, a poet of the “Obscure” school in the 80s and 90s (I’ve also seen it translated as “misty” which is literally correct but slightly misses the meaning). Apart from his poetry, he is famous for retiring to New Zealand, going nuts when living in a polycule with his wife and another woman, attacking his wife with an axe and then killing himself; she also died as a result of her injuries. The third lady wasn’t hurt. Interestingly Wikipedia doesn’t mention the third lady (IIRC she was called baobei/baby) at all.

I’ve always felt it described a really bad date.
