134. Seeing Off Minister Li, Returning to the Cottage in Hanyang (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In destitution leaves the conqueror-general of the South,Who commanded a hundred thousand soldiers before.Dismissed, he returns without his old job,Old and missing the brighter age on the road.Standing alone, he pacified the Three Frontiers;That he took his life lightly, a single sword knows.Afar, afar on the Rivers Chang and Han!The sun sets; whither again will he go?「送李中丞歸漢陽別業」流落征南將曾驅十萬師<p
133. Climbed to Lord Wu's Pavilion, Went Up to a Temple, and Looked into the Distance on an Autumn Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The old pavilion, after the leaves have fallen:The homesick heart of an autumn day.People rarely come to the unadorned temple;Cloudy peaks, and the water, afar and deep.Sunset reclines onto an ancient bastion;Cold sounds fill the empty forest.Sorrowful are the matters of the southern dynasties!The Chang River alone has reached the present.「秋日登吳公臺上寺遠眺」古臺搖落後秋日望鄉心野寺É
132. Sensations, Early on a Cold River (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trees shedding, wild geese crossing to the South;The northern wind is cold on the river.My home is a hill by the Xiang River,Far apart, at the end of Chu’s clouds.Homesick tears were exhausted in wandering;A lone sail is seen at the sky’s edge.Having lost the quay, there will be questions; A placid sea, and the evening stretches, stretches.「早寒江上有懷」木落雁南渡北風江上寒我家襄水曲
131. Saying Goodbye to Royal Attendant Wang Wei (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Solitude after solitude, what do I wait for all the time?Morning after morning, I go back on my own, empty.Wishing to leave so as to look for flowers and grass,I lament that I will be far away from the old friend.Among the powerful, who can I rely on?Ones who know the notes are rare in the world.I shall but keep desertedness,Return, and close the thatched gates of the old garden.「留別王侍御維」寂寂竟何待朝朝空自歸欲
130. Staying Overnight at the Tonglu River: Sent to an Old Friend in Guangling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mountains darken—I hear monkeys grieve;The azure river, the hasty torrent of the night.Winds cry through leaves on both riverbanks;The Moon illuminates a single lonesome boat.Jiande is not my land!Weiyang, I remember my old friend.Two streams of tear, I shallSend afar to the western end of the sea.「宿桐廬江寄廣陵舊遊」山暝聽猿愁滄江急夜流風鳴兩岸葉月照&#
