The birds have vanished down the sky
and now the last cloud drains away.
We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains.

Especially liked this one. Very nice.
Yes, it is quite lovely.
A favorite. Thanks for offering it today.
Glad you like it. It’s a different translation but quite beautiful still.
As my buddy Mei Yao-ch’en once wrote, poems should contain boundless meaning revealed beyond their words. Or something like that–I mean, I get what he meant, is what I’m saying! Meaning, a great poem can survive multiple translations and have within it the boundless meaning, still reaching the reader in their own way of receiving it. I think I’ve seen this in several translations and that meaning comes through.
Yes, agreed. Which is why I like reading the different translations to see the slightly different takes each translator has and yet to still enjoy the poem itself.
a beautiful piece.
Glad you liked it. It is a favorite of mine in all its translated versions.
Brilliant! The imagery evokes great emotion.
I’m glad you liked it.
I like the way the natural elements are used to draw the parallel. Ethereal.
Thank you, William. I’m glad you like it. He’s one of China’s greats.
