Wuang Ching Wei read the following interpretation of The Charm of Music, one of the larger and best known paintings by Yun Gee, now on exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum:

Slowly taken the flowing verse
Enters the hart of the piano.
White snow of the winter, is easily found
Before the composer’s hand
Come out the Monkeys and pelicans —
And they chirp —
But this music is still found among men.
