Xue Tao
“Two birds on the lake share one shadow across the ripples.”
“Last spring the peony faded; my tears fell on the letter.”
“They only want me to sleep soundly on my mat and, waking late at night, idly speak with you about our love.”
“Now, for no reason, you've pulled up all the lotuses — and I can't wander these clear waves any more.”
“Leaping for joy in this pond all these years, I've often waved my red tail to tangle fishing lines.”
