Relationships
From My Study at the Mouth of the Valley, a Message to Censor Yang
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
At a little grass-hut in the valley of the river,
Where a cloud seems born from a viney wall,
You will love the bamboos new with rain,
And mountains tender in the sunset.
Cranes drift early here to rest
And autumn flowers are slow to fade. . . .
I have bidden my pupil to sweep the grassy path
For the coming of my friend.
