Where to Live (Du Fu) | |
West of the Flower Washing Stream, | |
not far downstream from the bridge, | |
the master has chosen a quiet spot | |
here in the woods by the river. | |
Living apart from the city crowds, | |
the world loosens its grip; | |
murmuring of this clear water dissolves | |
the sadness that burdens a stranger. | |
Countless dragonflies play in the air, | |
dancing up and down; | |
a pair of wild ducks out in the stream | |
swim and dive together. | |
You could take a boat downstream, | |
thousands of miles to the east | |
or else forget the boat, and live | |
here by this stream forever. |
