Hanshan Quotes

I Divined And Chose A Distant Place To Dwell
T'ien-t'ai; What More Is There To Say?

Monkeys Cry Where Valley Mists Are Cold,
My Grass Gate Blends With The Color Of The Crags,
I Pick Leaves To Thatch A Hut Among The Pines,
Scoop Out A Pond And Lead A Runnel From The Spring.

By Now I Am Used To Doing Without The World,
Picking Ferns, I Pass The Years That Are Left.
The Trail To Cold Mountain Is Faint
The Banks Of Cold Stream Are A Jungle

birds Constantly Chatter Away
I Hear No Sound Of People
Gusts Of Wind Lash My Face

flurries Of Snow Bury My Body
Day After Day, No Sun
Year After Year No Spring.
