Poet Atop A Mountain
The poet unfraught
after an arduous climb
to the mountain top
attempts to describe the view
with limited use of words.
***
Poet On A Mountain Top by Shen Zhou, (Chinese, 1427-1509)
(translation from Indiana University)
White clouds sash-like
wrap mountain waists,
The rock terrace flies in space
distant, a narrow path.
Leaning on a bramble staff
far and free I gaze,
To warble of valley brook
I will reply, whistling.
