I too have spent My life rushing here and there From one end of the country' To the other. I long for The homestead where I was born, A thousand mountain ranges Away. Like yellow leaves in The decline of Summer a Few white hairs have already Appeared on my head. All my Travels only made tracks In drifting sand. I piled up Learning like a snowball.

"I lean on my rustic gate Above the swift river In the evening and hear The distant sound of women Beating clothes. The little bridge Arches over the fishes And turtles.

When I reach the monastery The bats are already flying. I go to the guest room and sit On the steps. The rain is over. The banana leaves are broad. The gardenias are in bloom. The old guest master tells me There are ancient paintings on the Walls. He goes and gets a light. I see they are incomparably Beautiful. He spreads my bed And sweeps the mat. He serves me Soup and rice. It is simple Food but nourishing. The night Goes on as I lie and listen To the great peace. Insects chirp And click in the stillness. The Pure moon rises over the ridge And shines in my door. At daybreak I get up alone. I saddle My horse myself and go my way. The trails are all washed out. I go up and down, picking my Way through storm clouds on the mountain. Red cliffs, green waterfalls, all Sparkle in the morning light. I pass pines and oaks ten men Could not reach around. I cross Flooded streams. My bare feet stumble On the cobbles. The water roars. My clothes whip in the wind. This Is the only life where a man Can find happiness. Why do I Spend my days bridled like a horse With a cruel bit in his mouth? If I only had a few friends Who agreed with me we'd retire To the mountains and stay till our lives end."

"The shadows of the cypresses On the moonlit avenue To the abandoned palace Weave in tangles on the road Like great kelp in the depths of the sea. When the palace was full of people I used to see this all the time And never noticed how beautiful it was. Mid-Autumn full moon, the luminous night Is like a boundless ocean.

My ox has a long bare tail. I tag along behind, Holding it like a flute or a whip. We wander from the Southern hill To the Eastern cliffs. When he is tired or hungry, I always know what to do. Sunset, my ox ambles slowly home. As he walks along, I sing a song. When he lies down, I do too. At night in the barn I sleep by his side. I am old. I take care of my ox. I have nothing else to do.

"Winter and Spring have come and gone. Once more Autumn overtakes Summer. She has returned to The Hidden Springs. And all the World separates us forever. Who will listen to my secrets Now? Who will I live for now? I try to do my job at Court, And reluctantly go through The motions of duty, and Take up the tasks I had dropped. When I come home I can think Only of her. When I come In our room I expect to see her. I catch her shadow on the Screens and curtains. Her letters Are the most precious examples Of calligraphy. Her perfume Still haunts the bedroom. Her clothes Still hang there in the closet. She is always alive in My dreams. I wake with a start. She vanishes. And I Am overwhelmed with sorrow. Two birds made a nest and then There was only one. A pair Of fishes were separated And lost in the current. The Autumn wind blows. The morning Is misty, with dripping eaves. All through the troubled night I was Not able to forget in sleep. I hope the time will come when I am calm enough to beat On a pot like Chuang Tzu did." Pao, Yu = Bao, You ? (?)

I remember the long march That lies ahead of me, and Go out and look up at the stars, To see how the night has worn on. Betelgeuse and Antares Have both gone out. It is time For me to leave for far off Battlefields. No way of knowing If we will ever see each Other again. We clutch each Other and sob, our faces Streaming with tears. Goodbye, dear.

I open my night gown, and let The fresh night air bathe my body. A lonely wild goose cries out In the distant meadow. A night bird flies calling through the trees. I come and go without rest. What do I gain by it? My mind is distracted by worries That will never cease. My heart is all bruised By the troubled ghosts who haunt it." Yuan, Mei (Hangzhou 1716–1797) Summer Day Winter Night |
