Alternate Author Name(s): Kanzan; Hanshan; Han-shan
Subject(s): Chinese Literature; Forgetfulness; Grief; Nature; Sorrow; Sadness
A man who lives on rose-colored clouds
shunned the usual haunts for a home
every season is equally dead
summer is just like fall
a dark stream always babbles
a towering pine wind sighs
sitting here less than one day
he forgets a whole lifetime of sorrow
