三月七日,沙湖道中遇雨。雨具先去,同行皆狼狈,余独不觉,已而遂晴,故作此。
莫听穿林打叶声,何妨吟啸且徐行。竹杖芒鞋轻胜马,谁怕?一蓑烟雨任平生。
料峭春风吹酒醒,微冷,山头斜照却相迎。回首向来萧瑟处,归去,也无风雨也无晴。
Calming the WavesSu 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 shrillAnd 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.
