THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 105 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THERE'S A BRILLIANT MAN SOMEWHERE
Last Line: HE CHASES ALL SORTS OF DISTINCTIONS
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; IGNORANCE; SCHOLARSHIP & SCHOLARS; DULLNESS; STUPDITY;

There's a brilliant man somewhere
poring over difficult texts
his three tips are unique
his six arts place him apart
his spirit soars above others
his qualities transcend the crowd
but blind to the truth before him
he chases all sorts of distinctions
