Photo of the book "Translations from the Chinese" by Christopher Morley. The book is open to a poem called "The Palimpsest," and several Chinese coins are arranged on the facing page. This edition is from 1927.

"There is, in each man's heart, Chinese writing—a secret script, a cryptic language..."

Christopher Morley, "The Palimpsest," from "Translations from the Chinese"
