Visiting the Mountain Grove of General He in the Company of Instructor Zheng
VI
His breezy stone steps blow with shadowy snow,
at his cloudy gate roars a cascading[1] stream.
Sobering[2] from ale, we long to lie on the mats,
our clothes so cold we want to stuff them with padding.
An old rustic comes to attend the guests
but will take no coin for his river fish.
It just seems a place of simplicity and purity
will inevitably have a mountain and waters.
