Fumes of wine shorten the long road.
BAI JUYI, "After Passing the Examination"
- Shod with wings is the horse of him who rides
- On a Spring day the road that leads to home.
BAI JUYI, "After Passing the Examination"
- Still and clear, the first weeks of May,
- When trees are green and bushes soft and wet;
- When the wind has stolen the shadows of new leaves
- And birds linger on the last boughs that bloom.
BAI JUYI, "In Early Summer Lodging in a Temple to Enjoy the Moonlight"
- If the Fleeting World is but a long dream,
- It does not matter whether one is young or old.
BAI JUYI, "At the End of Spring"
