Saying Goodbye on the Yi River

Luo Binwang 640-684 Here when Yan Dan said goodbye A hero raised his hat with his courage The men of the past are gone But the water is still cold today

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.
