Classic poem of the day
I WOULD not have you curl your hair,
Though tangled locks I can't endure;
Trim hands and skin should never bear
The patent signs of manicure.
Ape not the beardless Eastern style,
The culprit's sloven chin abhor!
To pose as less than man is vile,
'Tis barbarous to pose as more.
Though manhood's outward looks you wear
In hirsute limb and bearded face,
Your mind the while is plucked and bare,
Of manly growth there......
Member poem of the day
Farewell to a Lofty Monk
Liu Changqing (709-785)
A lofty cloud has met a common crane,
But how to live together in this land?
Don’t stay out here, though filled with fertile hills,
So many know this place, like grains of sand.
| Chinese 送上人 劉長卿 |
