Flowers Not Flowers

Bái Jūyì 772-846 Flowers not flowers, fog not fog, Midnight comes then goes with daybreak. We arrive like spring dreams countless times, Vanish like dawn clouds seeking nothing.

Huā Fēi Huā

Huā fēi huā wù fēi wù, Yèbàn lái tiān míng qù. Lái rú chūn mèng jǐ duō shí, Qù sì cháo yūn wú mì chù.

Notes: Exact location unknown, but it seems reasonable to place this poem on Lushan by Bai's Flower Path
