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.
嬾搖白羽扇,躶體青林中。

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?
跨月蒸淋積穢氛
四肢無力度朝曛
新秋碧落澄寥廓
端軸都無一點雲

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."

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.
