Night Visit from a Friend

Bai Juyi 722-846 A mat in the clear breeze by the eaves; under the pines, a wine cup in the moonlight-- there's subtle meaning in just such things, much more so when an old friend comes!

Yǒurén Yè Fǎng

Bái Jūyì 722-846 Yán jiān qīng fēng diàn, Sōng xià míng yuè bēi. Yōu yì zhèng rúcǐ, Kuàng nǎi gùrén lái.
