Classic poem of the day
Be like the bird, who
Halting in his flight
On limb too slight
Feels it give way beneath him,
Yet sings
Knowing he hath wings.

River Snow
Liu Zongyuan (773 – 819)
A thousand mountains, skies bereft of birds,
Ten thousand paths, untread since long ago;
One boat—an old man in a bamboo hat
Alone and fishing in the river snow.
