Thousands of paths with no trace of men
A solitary boat, a bamboo cloak
An old man fishing in the cold river-snow

this is one of my fav
Boundless grasses over the plain
Come and go with every season;
Wildfire never quite consumes them --
They are tall once more in the spring wind.
Spreading across roads
And reach the crumbling citygate....
My friend, you are gone again....
I hear them sighing after you. -

bery simple
No birds flying over hundreds of mountains,
No footprints left on thousands of paths.
An old fisherman with a straw hat and coat,
Fishing on a boat in the cold snow.
(i din translate this, i got off the net....not a bery good translation IMO)
Qiang Xue by Liu Zong YuanOriginally posted by DeadPoet:Hee hee I know the answer.
But the translation I have (not from me) is this,
Hundreds of hills with no flight of bird
Thousands of paths with no trace of men
A solitary boat, a bamboo cloak
An old man fishing in the cold river-snow -

this is a classic oso
Seek and not find,
lonesome mind,
desolate, forlorn kind.
About to be warm, yet quite cold still,
most hard to keep oneself from ill.
Three pints, two cups tasteless liquor,
how to withstand such evening chill?
A wild goose flew by,
heartache hour,
one old friend known!
Yellow petals on the ground piled,
wan and sallow, and withered,
who would pluck them still?
Sitting by the window, alone,
languishing in the approaching dark.
Wutong tree by thin rain washed,
dripping-dropping
till dusk.
Alas, this sorrow of mine,
how can you say: just a melancholic tune!
(a pretty good translation too....) -

The one I've seen was (first three lines),
I seek and search, seek and search,
Yet find it cold and lonely, cold and lonely,
So miserable, so wretched, and so dreary.
FI, where did you get that translation? Got any links?
