if you wish to make a good friend,
Just look at the pine and cypress woods.
Amid the frost, they do not fall to earth,
Without disloyalty when the year is cold.

That is lovely as well, another Chinese poet and philosopher?
I have been looking into the poems of Du Fu,they are beautiful, he was certainly ahead of his time in his thinking, a romantic I think. ♥

Yes, I am on that kick for now, Du Fu us great with such a wonderfully simple way of putting things. I am glad you are enjoying his work.
