His elder daughter had just died at the age of 4, and a specialist had diagnosed the seriousness of his own heart condition. A friend had earlier given him Han Bethge's The Chinese Flute for holiday reading, and this colIection of German TransIations and adaptations of Chinese poetry now suited his state of mind.
