Written at the South Tower of Ezhou

Huang Tingjian 1045-1105 Mountain light meets water light everywhere I look From the railing I can smell miles of water lilies The soft wind and bright moon aren't controlled by man Together from the south they bring something cool

Èzhōu Nán Lái Shū Shì

Huáng Tíngjiān 1045-1105 Sì gù shān guāng jiē shuǐ guāng， Píng lán shí lǐ jìhé xiāng. Qīngfēng míngyuè wú rén guǎn， Bìng zuò nán lái yī wèi liáng.

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.
