A Traveller at Night Writes His Thoughts
Du Fu · 765
Slim grasses, a slight wind on the bank; Tall mast, a lonely night on the boat. Stars hang down over the flat wild land; The moon surges up from the great river.
A name — could writing ever bring it? Office — for age and sickness given up. Floating, floating — what am I like? Between earth and sky, a single gull.
