Question

Snow (1936.02)
North country scene:
A hundred leagues locked in ice,
A thousand leagues of whirling snow.
Both side of the Great Wall
One single white immensity.
The Yellow River's swift current
Is stilled from end to end.
The mountains dance silver snakes
And the highland charge like wax-hued elephants.
Vying with heaven in stature.
On a fine day, the land,
Clad in white, adorned in red,
Crows more enchanting.
This land so rich in beauty
Has made countless heroes bow in homage.
But alas! Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi
Were lacking in literary grace,
And Tang Taizong and Song Taizu
Had little poetry in their souls;
That proud son of Heaven,
Genghis Khan,
Knew only shooting eagles, bow outstretched.
All are past and gone!
For truly great men
Look to this age alone.

Answer 1

A league is a unit of measurement 1 league = 4.5 kilometers. so it is talking about 450 Kilometers of ice and 4,500 Kilometers of snow. The great wall is referring to the great wall of China. the yellow river is a river in China. the rest is hard to translate i suggest you look up the people in the poem, that might help a little. good luck!!!

Answer 2

The beta trial for Burma Shave

Obviously, it didn't hype sales and was discontinued...
also...it required far too many signs-wood and paint cost being what they were
there were also a number of law suits based on the signs being a driving hazard....too many accidents trying to read them w/o stopping

That's when the corporate idea was to switch to short "jingles" and "witty" stanzas

Answer 3

my brain is mush...
