A Tale of the Fountain of the Peach Blossom Spring
In the year of Taiyuan of the Jin Dynasty, there lived a man in Wuling jun who earned his living by fishing. One day, he rowed his boat along a stream, unaware of how far he had gone when all of a sudden, he found himself in the midst of a wood of peach blossoms. The wood extended several hundred foot steps along both banks of the stream. There were no trees of other kinds. The lush grass was flesh and beautiful and peach petals fell
in riotous profusion. The fisherman was so curious that he rowed on, in hopes of discovering where the trees ended.

All of a sudden he came upon a peach grove. For hundreds of paces along both banks of the stream, the peach-trees were in full bloom. No other trees were to be seen in the whole grove. The soft grass looked fresh and beautiful. Here and there falling blossoms was beside himself with amazement.

Autumn Day
Lord: it is time. The summer was immense.
Lay your shadow on the sundials
and let loose the wind in the fields.
Bid the last fruits to be full:
give them another two more southerly days,
press them to ripeness, and chase
the last sweetness into the heavy wine.
Whoever has no house now will not build one anymore.
Whoever is alone now will remain so for a long time,
will stay up, read, write long letters,
and wander the avenues, up and down,
restlessly, while the leaves are blowing.

秋日
主啊，时不我予。盛夏已去。
把你的影子对准日晷，
让风在旷野上获得自由。
