Visiting the Mountain Grove of General He in the Company of Instructor Zheng
IV
Neighboring cottages stretch to tall bamboo,
a sparse[1] hedge bears late flowers.
The millstone whirlpool is deep enough to sink a horse,
Rattan[2] vines so twisted they could hide snakes.
My skill in poetic expositions brings no gain,
my tracks in mountain forests are not far in the future.
I will grab up all my books and sell them
and come to call on the home to your east.
