Calming the Waves
On the 7th day of the 3rd month we were caught in rain on our way to the Sandy Lake. The umbrellas had gone ahead, My companions were quite downhearted, but I took no notice. It soon cleared, and I wrote this.            
  Su Shi
Listen not to the rain beating against the trees. 
Why don’t you slowly walk and chant at ease? 
Better than a saddle I like sandals and cane. 
  I’d fain,
In a straw cloak,spend my life in mist and rain.
Drunken,I am sobered by the vernal wind shrill 
    And rather chill.
In front,I see the slanting sun atop the hill;
Turning my head,I see the dreary beaten track.
    Let me go back!
Impervious to rain or shine,I’ll have my own will.
