In this narrated essay and six-poem sequence, acclaimed translator
and poet David Hinton finds an uncannily literal translation of
modern science’s “space-time” in yü chou—one of ancient China’s
most foundational cosmological concepts. He invites us to
contemplate the fabric of time and space as a kind of primordial
breath, drawing on the ideograms for yü chou to show that time is
not a metaphysical river moving past, but an all-encompassing
present that renders the Cosmos alive. An epilogue of poems
delivers us into an elemental world where time is woven with the
sacred. Read the essay and poems. Discover more stories
