The Journey to the West

Though we journey to the West We pray to the East More or less that's the way Each day begins and ends It’s a tale everyone ...

The Mania of a Spring Day (by Meng Jiao)



Raindrops on the grass
Sprouts emerging
One day extends 
Forever it seems
A single day
The wind stirs the willow
And its pendant threads
One branch intermingled
With another

A sense of sorrow
Alone descends on
A man’s brow
The course of spring
Otherwise seems
Unconcerned
And so he reaches
To fill his wine cup
Madly he sings
As a fit of laughter
Comes with it



 


春日有感

孟郊

雨滴草芽出
一日一日
吹柳线
一枝一枝

独有愁人
春如等
且持酒
-->
狂歌狂笑来
