    At A BANQUEt IN thE hOUSE

    OF tAOISt PRIESt MEI

    In my bed among t spring must end,

    I lifted up tain on a pathway of flowers,

    And a flashing bluebird bade me come

    to the Red Pine Genie.

    ... a flame for his golden crucible --

    Peacrees magical h buds ! --

    And for holding boyhood in his face,

    the rosy-flowing wine of clouds!

    孟浩然

    岁暮归南山

    北阙休上书， 南山归敝庐。

    不才明主弃， 多病故人疏。

    白发催年老， 青阳逼岁除。

    永怀愁不寐， 松月夜窗墟。

    ...to tumble-down  on Zain

    I was banished for my blunders, by a wise ruler.

    I have been sick so long I see none of my friends.

    Like pale beams ending the old year.

    therefore I lie awake and ponder

    On t in my empty window.

    过故人庄

    故人具鸡黍， 邀我至田家。

    绿树村边合， 青山郭外斜。

    开轩面场圃， 把酒话桑麻。

    待到重阳日， 还来就菊花。
