More from Li Bai
"Heaven is high, Earth Wide. Bitter between them flies my sorrow."
"The birds have vanished into the sky and now the last cloud drains away. We sit together the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains."
"I climb up high and look on the four seas, Heaven and earth spreading out so far. Frost blankets all the stuff of autumn, The wind blows with the great desert's cold."
"I laugh wildly when leaving home—am I not one of those men?"
"Lazily waving my white-feathered fan, Baring my chest in the green of the glen."
