Mistress Tsou of Ti Yen
and Mistress Tu of Han Tan
the two of them equally old
their love of face the same
yesterday went to a tea
but ill-dressed were shown to the back
because their skirts were frayed
they had to eat hardtack

Thank you

I bet it was. He's had such a marvelous career

the lustrous Lady Lu
has long been called Never Sad
she loved to ride a flower-picking horse
she was happy poling a lily-gathering boat
she knelt on a green bear rug
and wore a blue phoenix robe
but grieved that in a hundred years
she couldn’t help ending in the hills

Today, I'm giving a lecture on Critical Thinking, so if I could borrow these they might be useful...

if you were too dumb the life before
you won't be enlightened now
and such poverty as today’s
is the work of previous lives
don’t reform this life either
and next life will be the same
on both shores there’s no ferry
it’s far but you'll cross one day

usually I live in seclusion
then I head for Kuo Ch’ing
sometimes to visit Feng Kan the Elder
sometimes to see Mister Shih
I go back up to Cold Cliff alone
an agreement we've never spoken
tracing a springless stream
the spring's dry but not the stream
