Written in the Palace

Li Ang 809-840 The Shanglin Woods are in bloom But autumn weeds hide the royal path My ministers no longer know How vast is the view from on high

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese. Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press.
