You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest – Li Po

By Li Po
(701 – 762)

English version by Sam Hamill

 You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest,
and I smile, and am silent,
and even my soul remains quiet:
it lives in the other world
which no one owns.
The peach trees blossom,
The water flows.

One thought on “You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest – Li Po”

  1. Copacii infloresc, apele curg, si se poate respira. Pe langa posibilitatea de a trai, muntele iti da si un exemplu de tenacitate, rezistenta,un mod de a fi.
    Langa munte, parca si grijile palesc.
    anaumai bine la toata lumea.
