Relationships
At Parting
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
Relationships
I dismount from my horse and I offer you wine,
And I ask you where you are going and why.
And you answer: "I am discontent
And would rest at the foot of the southern mountain.
So give me leave and ask me no questions.
White clouds pass there without end."
