孟浩然
清明日宴梅道士房
林臥愁春盡， 開軒覽物華。
忽逢青鳥使， 邀入赤松家。
丹灶初開火， 仙桃正發花。
童顏若可駐， 何惜醉流霞。

AT A BANQUET IN THE HOUSE
OF THE TAOIST PRIEST MEI
In my bed among the woods, grieving that spring must end,
I lifted up the curtain on a pathway of flowers,
And a flashing bluebird bade me come
To the dwelling-place of the Red Pine Genie.
…What a flame for his golden crucible —
Peach-trees magical with buds ! —
And for holding boyhood in his face,
The rosy-flowing wine of clouds!
