Ma Yuan And Li Po

Poul Anderson, The Byworlder, V.

"...a scroll of willows, bridge, mountain captured in a few swift lines eight hundred years ago by Ma Yuan himself; the books, yes, old
Li Po, the poet who was more drunk on life, than on the wine he sang of -" (p. 57)

Guion in the Time Patrol refers to Ma Yuan, Aycharaych in the Technic History refers to Li Po and Li Po appears in the Old Phoenix.

    Kaor, Paul!

    And don't forget the appreciative, even admiring mention of G.K Chesterton by the Chinese character in THE BYWORLDER (even tho I can't recall his name).

    I wonder if the Sigman appreciated Chinese art? A lot of it might be too much like the drawings that being thought ugly.
