I HAVE HEARD IT SAID THAT WORRIES ARE HARD TO OVERCOME
By #HanShan
I’ve heard it said that worries are hard to overcome
But that expression is not really true
What happened yesterday
Is already behind you
And today you face a whole
New set of woe
61
I see a hundred-odd dogs
every one of them scruffy
happy to lie by themselves
glad to ramble alone
but throw out a bone
and watch them growl and fight
because with bones so few
a pack of dogs can’t share
#Hanshan #Coldmountain #dogs r 4 life not just 4 xmas #dog #poem #poetry

farmers with lots of mulberry groves
buffalo calves filling stables and ruts
willing to believe in cause and effect
the numbskulls crack sooner or later
their eyes see it all used up
then everyone on their own
paper pants and tiles for shorts
frozen and starved in the end
#hanshan #poetry

I saw a girl to the east
her years maybe eighteen
from the west men vied to propose
a willing match man and wife wed
stewing sheep and cooking a host of creatures
gathering for wantonness and slaughter
smiling and laughing merrily
receiving their judgment in tears
#hanshan #coldmountain #poem

peach blossoms would last through summer
but the wind and moon won’t wait
look around for a man of the Han
not one of them stayed behind
day after day the petals drift down
year after year we move on
where we raise the dust today
was a great sea long ago
#Hanshan #ColdMountain #Poetry #Poem
57
a likable fine fellow
physically imposing
not thirty springs or autumns
talents of a hundred kinds
his golden bridles chase noble guests
his jade dishes gather good friends
he only has one fault
he doesn’t hand on the eternal lamp
#Hanshan #ColdMountain #poem #poetry #Chinese
56
call friends over when there’s wine
call neighbors in when there’s meat
bound for the Yellow Springs
look alive while you're young and strong
a jade belt’s transient glory
gold hairpins aren’t lasting charms
Old Man Chang and Old Lady Cheng
haven't sent back any news
#hanshan #coldmountain
54
picking lotuses we called
the Clearwater was lovely
having fun we didn’t feel dusk
we kept watching a wild wind stir
swells cradled the mandarin ducks
waves rocked the mallards
and us resting our oars
while our thoughts surged on and on
#Hanshan #Coldmountain #Poet #Poetry
53
once I got to Cold Mountain
I stayed thirty years
finally looking up family and friends
most had entered the Springs
slowly fading like a sputtering candle
or far flowing like a passing stream
this morning facing a solitary shadow
suddenly two tears welled
#hanshan #coldmountain #poetry
52.
daylong they seem drunk
don’t stop at all for years
buried beneath weeds
dawn must be dim
flesh and bones vanished completely
souls about withered away
notwithstanding iron-snapping jaws
helpless to chant the old sutras
#Hanshan #ColdMountain #redpine #BillPorter #translator #poem #Chinese
51
a black-maned roan and coral whip
fly down Lo Yang Road
a complacent handsome youth
doesn’t expect old age
but white hair will surely appear
and red cheeks won’t keep long
just look at Pei Mang Mountain
there’s the Isle of Immortals
#hanshan #coldmaountain #redpine #poetry #translation

what person never dies
death has long been fair
as I recall a towering man
he’s suddenly a pile of dust
the World Below has no dawn
the green grass has its spring
who comes to this heart-breaking place
the pine wind grieves to death
#hanshan #coldmountain #poem #poetry
49
things have their uses
and each use has its fit
if a use is out of place
there’s a gap and a deficiency
a round hole and a square handle
is such a vain undertaking
a race horse to catch rats
will never match a lame cat
#hanshan #ColdMountain #poem #poetry
48
beneath high cliffs I lie alone
steaming clouds don’t fade all day
my hut might be dim
but my mind is free of noise
off dreaming I visited golden gates
my spirit returned when I crossed Stone Bridge
I left behind what burdened me
my dipper in the trees click clack
#Hanshan #RedPine #Poem #poems
Bit by bit life fades like a guttering lamp,
Passes on like a river that never rests.
Sat a long time till mists had cleared.
Moonrise—the lamp of night drifts upward;
📘Cold Mountain, circa 750

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
#Hanshan #ColdMountain #poem #poetry

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
#Hanshan #ColdMountain
45
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
#truedat #hanshan #coldmountain #poetry

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
#hanshan #coldmountain #poem #poetry
43
the white crane carries a bitter flower
a thousand miles before resting
he’s bound for the peaks of P’eng Lai
with this for his provision
not yet there his feathers break off
far from the flock he grieves
returning to his old nest
his wife and children don’t know him
#hanshan #coldmountain
suddenly rich and honored he took to wealth and beauty
when tiles break or ice melts you can’t show them off
#Hanshan #coldmountain #poem
41
a rich man is so occupied
he can’t just acquiesce
his granary rice already bright red
he won't loan a peck or a quart
he turns his thoughts to guile
buying coarse silk he picks the best
whenever he reaches his final day
for mourners there'll be flies
#true #hanshan #coldmountain #poem #poet

an old lady to the east
got rich a few years ago
before poorer than me
she laughs that I’m broke
she laughs that I’m behind
I laugh that she’s ahead
we laugh like we won’t stop
from the east and from the west
#hanshan #coldmountain #poem #redpine #translation #poetry
39
the Third Moon silkworms still small
girls come gathering flowers
chasing butterflies by the wall
throwing at frogs beside the river
stuffing plums into sheer silk sleeves
digging up bamboo shoots with gold lancets
wrangle about what's fine
this place outdoes mine
#hanshan #coldmountain #poem
38
two turtles were aboard an ox cart
when a roadside drama occured
a scorpion came alongside
begging desperately for a ride
to refuse would violate good will
to accept would weigh them down
in a finger snap I couldn’t describe
acting kindly they got stung
