WHITE MOON, RED DRAGON
A DELL TRADE PAPERBACK




Open wide the door of heaven! On a black cloud I ride in splendor, Bidding the whirlwind drive before
me, Causing the rainstorm to lay the dust.

тАФTa Ssu Ming, "The Greater Master of Fate," from the Chiu Ko, the "Nine Songs" by Ch'u Yuan,
second century B.C.



Before me floats an image, man or shade,

Shade more than man, more image than a shade;

For Hades' bobbin bound in mummy-cloth

May unwind the winding path;

A mouth that has no moisture and no breath

Breathless mouths may summon;

I hail the superhuman;

I call it death-in-life and life-in-death.

тАФWilliam Butler Yeats, from Byzantium, A.D. 1930

For John Patrick Kaivmagh

brother in arms, dedicated

B52 pilot and all 'round fine fellow.

"Give 'em a dollar!"
