The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan

Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt

Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century

11

A handsome young man on a horse
swings his whip and points to the pleasure quarter,
saying, “I will never die.”
He has not yet taken a journey.
As the four seasons change, he enjoys flowers,
but one day they all will wither and yellow.
He can’t taste the finest cream and honey
until the day he dies.

Do it! If you're at all curious about Chinese poetry aside from Hanshan, and about Chinese hermits, I definitely recommend watching this amazing biopic of Red Pine as well which is available until the end of October for a small sum (definitely worth it): https://watch.showandtell.film/watch/redpine
