Theme: Hanshan's Poems from Cold Mountain -- (3)
In Chinese, Hanshan's poems are written in the classical style of eight lines of five characters. Give it a shot.
(J.P. Seaton Translation)
If you’re looking for a peaceful place,
Cold Mountain’s always a refuge.
A little breeze, breath of the shaded pines,
and if you listen close, the music’s even better.
Under the pines a graying man,
soft, soothingly, reading aloud from Lao Tzu.
_ _ _
No poem from me tonight!
Just two lines, ten words.
