To whom, then, will he sell his wine?


DRINKING IN THE T'AO PAVILION

BY LI T'AI-PO

The house of the lonely scholar is in the winding lane.

The great scholar's gate is very high.

The garden pool lies and shines like the magic gall mirror;

Groves of trees throw up flowers with wide, open faces;

The leaf-coloured water draws the Spring sun.
