Climbing a Mountain

Li She fl. 830 All day I feel lost as drunk or in a dream Then I hear sping is over and force myself to climb Passing a bamboo courtyard I meet a monk and talk And spend another  afternoon beyond this floating life

Dēng Shān

Lǐ Shè fl. 830 Zhōng rì hūnhūn zuì mèng jiān， Hū wén chūn jìn qiáng dēng shān. Yīn guò zhú yuàn féng sēng huà， Yòu dé fú shēng bàn rì xián.

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.
