Yi Jehyeon 李齊賢
14th century · Goryeo Korea
The paper quilt is cold and the temple lamp is dim; all night the little novice has not rung the bell. He will be cross that the guest opens the door so early, but I must see the snow weighing down the pine before the hermitage.
紙被生寒佛燈暗 沙彌一夜不鳴鍾
應嗔宿客開門早 要看庵前雪壓松Ikjae nango, "A Snowy Night in the Mountains"

Li Bai 李白
8th century · Tang China
Too lazy to wave my white feather fan, I go naked in the green woods. I take off my headcloth and hang it on a rock wall, and bare my head to the wind in the pines.

Past a month of steaming rain, foul air piling up, my limbs without strength from morning to dusk. Then early autumn: the blue sky clear and vast, from end to end not one speck of cloud. Is that not a delight?

The rustle of falling leaves: I took it for a thin rain. I called the monk to go out and look. "The moon is hanging in the tree south of the stream."
