‘First Spring’
Whatever should happen — the beautiful, the fantastic, the dreamlike …
A few young men are in Prada menswear…
As if in Shanghai of the 1930s or 40s,
As if in cafés, ballrooms and backrooms in the dark of night, in all the merry places …
Whatever should happen would happen ….

Whatever should happen would happen ….
In the streets, in the crowds, you meet Chinese of different classes, from different
times; like people in utterly different worlds, but meeting in Shanghai dozens of years
ago ….

ago ….
Whatever should happen would always happen …
In the sky over this city,
They still see they’re walking under the parasols …
In the sky over this city,
They still see they’re walking under the parasols …
Dangerous beauty …, promising beauty …
Whatever should happen …
Everything in the spring depends on …
A good start in the spring …
Whatever should happen …
Everything in the spring depends on …
A good start in the spring …
