Green Mountain Poem by Li Po

You cannot give Li Po a one and claim to like poetry, it is a contradiction.

A better translation exists. By Vikram Seth.

This, like so many of Li Po's work, is amazing in it's picturesque word imagery, and simple expression of universal human emotion. I wish I could read his work in the original language.

A touching poem with superb imagery. Great brevity.

Anybody else doing this poem for their assignment?

............living in the mountain area with a great friend would be the best ★

Lovely and well articulated piece written with conviction. A nice poem indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoy this poem and will try to find the recommended translation by Vikram Seth, that member Mandira Mitra commented on.
