| There was no reason to expect sadness |
|
|
| The Mountain pavilion is silent — few people visit me here |
|
|
| Of my flesh and blood, only one remains |
|
|
| I planned to get drunk to ease my sadness |
|
|
| Pines and cedars, a hundred feet of green, clinging to the earth |
|
|
| One morning I call for a sedan-chair man |
|
|
| I've given up poetry — mdash;I have no new manuscripts |
|
|
| The Wind sighs in the reeds — autumn on the rustic shore |
|
|
| You think I am happy |
|
|
| Just a few feet away, a temple from the Six Dynasties |
|
