絕句 夏元鼎


絕句    夏元鼎()

崆峒訪道至湘湖,萬卷詩書看轉愚。
踏破鐵鞋無覓處,得來全不費工夫。

 
A Jue Ju (Snapped-off lines) Poem       Xia Yuanding (Song Poet)

Looking for my illumination guru in Mt. Kong Tong my trip takes me to Lake Xiang as it ensues,
Flipping through thousands of books trying to solve my frustrations I’ve become more puzzled,
Seeking everywhere even having worn out my iron shoes the whereabouts of the solutions there is not a clue,
Presently they turn up without the slightest toil and moil.
