More from Du Fu
"My thatched roof is torn by autumn winds—the village boys steal my thatch."
"The ladle's cast aside, the cup not green, The stove still looks as if a fiery red. To many places, communications are broken, I sit, but cannot read my books for grief."
"Saddened by the times I weep at the flowers tormented by the partings even the birds startle my heart."
"My heart is in a world of water and crystal, My clothes are damp in this time of spring rains."
"The river's blue, the bird a perfect white, The mountain green with flowers about to blaze. I've watched the spring pass away again, When will I be able to return?"
