AFTER THE CHINESE MASTERS
AFTER SOME LINES
BY LIN HUNG
Moon above
the river.
I think of
you tonight.

AFTER 'WINE CUP
AND BRIGHT MOON'
BY SHEN CHOU
The moon falls
out of the sky
into my cup
of wine. When
the wine is gone
the moon is too,
and life goes on.
~
AFTER SOME LINES
BY T'AN YUAN-CH'UN
Trees
cannot hide
the moon's
sorrow.
Autumn
comes across
the river.

AFTER SOME LINES
BY CHU YI-TSUN
When the wind
dies the trees
stand idle.
The monks have
nothing to
do but eat
their supper.
~
AFTER SOME LINES
BY NA-LAN HSING-TE
The west wind
ages the maples.
To whom can I
speak of grief?
