冷泉亭 林洪

冷泉亭       林洪 (宋)

一泓清可沁詩脾， 冷暖年來只自知。  

流出西湖載歌舞， 回頭不似在山時。  

The Chilly Spring Pavilion     Lin Hong (Song Poet) 

So hyaline and unpolluted is the spring that it cleanses a bard’s innards and soul,

All these years only itself knows when it will turn warm and cold,
Running into the West Lake on it singing and dancing float,
Once there it’ll never be limpid again even if it returns to its original spring of old.
