THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 50 by HAN SHAN

First Line: SHOW ME THE PERSON WHO DOESN'T DIE
Last Line: THE PINE WIND SLAYS WITH GRIEF
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; DEATH; EQUALITY; DEAD, THE;

Show me the person who doesn't die
death remains impartial
I recall a towering man
who now is a pile of dust
the World Below knows no dawn
plants enjoy another spring
those who visit this sorrowful place
the pine wind slays with grief
