WRITTEN IN EARLY AUTUMN AT THE POOL OF SPRINKLING WATER, by CHAO-TI OF HAN First Line: In autumn, when the landscape is clear Last Line: And amy lowell Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
IN AUTUMN, when the landscape is clear, to float over the wide, water ripples, To pick the water-chestnut and the lotus flower with a quick, light hand! The fresh wind is cool, we start singing to the movement of the oars. The clouds are bright; they part before the light of dawn; the moon has sunk below the Silver River. Enjoying such pleasure for ten thousand years Could one consider it too much?
