Cherish Evening Journal Writing
Light breezes through delicate riverbank grasses
Single boat, in the evening lower the mast.
Stars near the vast and flat open country
Moon rises on the wide river flows.
Being famous for composing poems and essays not enough
Government officials should earn enough before retiring or
succumbing to illness.
What place can I find to avoid the irrelevance and superficial?
I am just one sandbar seagull between heaven and earth.
Commentary:
One of my favorite, and widely-read of Du Fu poems. It has the perception and appreciation of beauty, as well as his philosophical insights.
