THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 145 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THERE MAY BE PUNCTILIOUS PEOPLE
Last Line: YOU'LL REGRET THAT DAY
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; HAPPINESS; JOY; DELIGHT;

There may be punctilious people
but I'm not the punctilious sort
unlined clothes are good for dancing
no wine means getting drunk on song
try to keep your stomach full
but don't wear out your feet
when weeds penetrate your skull
you'll regret that day
