You ask how I spend my time-- <br />I nestle against a treetrunk <br />and listen to autumn winds <br />in the pines all night and day. <br /> <br />Shantung wine can't get me drunk. <br />The local poets bore me. <br />My thoughts remain with you, <br />like the Wen River, endlessly flowing. <br /> <br /> Li T'ai-po <br /> tr. Hamil<br /><br />Li Po<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-tu-fu-from-shantung/
