江雪 柳宗元


江雪       柳宗元 (773-818)    

千山鳥飛絕,萬徑人蹤滅。
孤舟蓑笠翁,獨釣寒江雪。
 

A River in the Snow              Liu Zongyuan (773-818)
Not a single bird is to be seen in the surrounding hills,
Nor any human soul on their myriad trails comes in view,
A solitary straw-caped fisherman in his desolate skiff,
Takes pleasure in fishing alone over the freezing river in the chills.
