I met Tu Fu on a mountaintop <br />in August when the sun was hot. <br /> <br />Under the shade of his big straw hat <br />his face was sad-- <br /> <br />in the years since we last parted, <br />he'd grown wan, exhausted. <br /> <br />Poor old Tu Fu, I thought then, <br />he must be agonizing over poetry again. <br /> <br /> Li Po <br /> tr.
