松间
偶向松间觅旧题
野人休诵北山移
丈夫出处非无意
猿鹤从来自不知
- 王安石
Among the Pines (On Being Recalled to Office)
Among the pines chancing upon old inscriptions,
Ignoramuses stop crowing my remove to northern mountains.
The man now comes forth not without purpose –
such as apes, cranes, never could understand.
- Wang Anshi (1021-1086)
