Also found those- on CHF- liked them.


Dropping by the Wineshop

These days I'm always muddled with drink.
It has nothing to do with "nourishing the spirit".
But seeing the whole world drunk,
How can I bear to be sober alone?

--Wang Ji (590-644)

Wandering on Mount Zhongnan

South Mountain stuffs all heaven and earth,
Sun and moon grow up from its stones.
The high peak at night holds back the sun,
The deep vales are never bright by day.
Natural for mountain people to grow straight:
Where paths are steep the mind levels.
A long wind drives the pines and cypresses
With a sound that sweeps the thousand hollows clean.
Who comes here regrets that he ever studied
Morning after morning, to be close to floating fame.

--Meng Jiao (751-814)

Swordsman

For ten years I have sharpened a sword.
Its frosty blade has never been tried.
On this day I show it to you--
Who is suffering from injustice!

--Jia Dao (779-843)
