GD corrects and expands on a gloss of EP's "when Lucifer fell in N. Carolina" (LXXIV, l. 21) which Canto  opens with "The enormous tragedy of the dream in the peasant's bent shoulders ...." A type of Lucifer is one who with education or riches has the potential to be "a bearer of light" but instead becomes a "force of darkness".

"Archaic Ode" Pearl 12 (Summer-Fall 1991) 10-11

"K'iao yen [Karlgren 198]"  (at the beginning of the poem).

"From the Chinese classic anthology (Shi ching) translated by Guy Davenport" (note following the poem)

Edited by Birgit Stephenson, Lars Rasmussen, and Gregory Stephenson.

Published by The Book Trader, Skindergade 23, DK -- 1159 Copenhagen K, Denmark.

This translation was republished as part of the story "The Concord Sonata" in A Table of Green Fields (NY: New Directions, 1993) at pp. 82-83.  This "Chinese" ode as Davenport calls it in the 'Acknowledgements' section of A Table of Green Fields (verso title page) appears as the voice of Meng Tse sings "one of the most archaic of the odes".

There are slight textual variations, in three of the poem's twelve stanzas, between the Pearl version and that in "The Concord Sonata":
 

Pearl Concord Sonata
   

1st stanza

 

The design is outside the world.
We are its children, its orphans.
Cicadas shrill in the willows

 

 

The world's order is in the stars.
We are its children, its orphans.
Cicadas shrill in the willows.

 

2nd stanza

 

It is not any fault of ours
that has brought us to this. It is
disorder. We were born to it.

 

 

It is not fault, it is not guilt
that has brought us to this. It is
disorder. We were not born to it.

 

11th stanza

 

The young lord's trees are tender green.
Sapling's grow to be useful wood.
Hollow words are a passing wind.

 

 

The young lord's trees are tender green.
Sapling's grow to be useful wood.
Hollow words are the wind blowing.
