The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan

Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt

Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century

27

In the village where I live,
people flatter me as incomparable.
Yesterday, I went to the city
and was glared at by dogs.
People either hated my narrow pants
or said my jacket was too long.
While the sparrow hawk’s eyes are crossed,
sparrows dance with confidence.
