Living
On the Subject of Old Tai's Wine-shop
Translated by Florence Ayscough and Amy Lowell (1921) · From Fir-Flower Tablets (1921)
Living
Old Tai is gone down to the Yellow Springs.
Yet he must still wish to make "Great Spring Wine."
There is no Li Po on the terrace of Eternal Darkness.
To whom, then, will he sell his wine?
