As Fall Begins, I Look Within

As Fall Begins, I Look Within

Li Yi (746-829)
 
 
Ten thousand fears have come to fix my life,
As on this mirrored shore I gaze uneased—
Here all I see has turned my temples white
And now it’s time to face the autumn breeze.
 
 
Chinese
 
立秋前一日覽鏡
李益
 
萬事銷身外
生涯在鏡中
唯將滿鬢雪
明日對秋風
