Drizzle entrained in slanting wind and morning chill
Light clouds bypass weeping willows and after-rain beach
A boundless expanse comes into scene, where the Luo River joins the sea
Pearly bubbles floating in afternoon tea
Onboard my dinner plate are mountain greens
The divine delicacy in earthly life
mild flavor and simple glee
~ Translated by Dot, from Su Shi’s “Drizzle In Slanting Wind and Morning Chill,” verses written on December 24, 1084 while he was hiking in Mount Zhong Nan
细雨斜风作晓寒，淡烟疏柳媚晴滩。入淮清洛渐漫漫。
雪沫乳花浮午盏，蓼茸蒿笋试春盘。人间有味是清欢。
~ 蘇軾 (宋代) <<浣溪沙 細雨斜風作曉寒>>
