旅夜书怀
Writing My Thoughts on a Night Journey
by Du Fu 杜甫 · 712 – 770
- Night
- Solitude
- Rivers
细草微风岸Fine grass, a light wind on the bank;
危樯独夜舟a tall mast, a boat alone at night.
星垂平野阔Stars hang down over the wide plain;
月涌大江流the moon surges and the great river flows.
名岂文章著Should a name be made by writing?
官应老病休Office should end with age and sickness.
飘飘何所似Drifting, drifting — what am I like?
天地一沙鸥A single gull between heaven and earth.
