EASE by PO CHU-YI

First Line: LINED COAT, WARM CAP AND EASY FELT SLIPPERS
Last Line: I WONDER IF THE COURTIERS AT THE WESTERN CAPITAL KNOW OF THESE THINGS, OR NOT?
Subject(s): CHINA - TANG DYNASTY (618-905); COMFORT; RETIREMENT;
LINED coat, warm cap and easy felt slippers,
In the little tower, at the low window, sitting over the sunken brazier.
Body at rest, heart at peace; no need to rise early.
I wonder if the courtiers at the Western Capital know of these things, or not?
