Li Bai You ask me why I dwell in mountains green? I laugh and don’t reply; my heart feels just at peace. Peach blossoms with the stream float far away . . . This is another world, not that of men.

Tao Qian, “Returning to the Fields” When I was young, I was out of tune with the herd: My only love was for the hills and mountains. Unwitting I fell into the Web of the World’s dust And was not free until my thirtieth year. . .

“Returning to the Fields” (end) At gate and courtyard – no murmur of the World’s dust: In the empty rooms – leisure and deep stillness. Long I lived checked by the bars of a cage: Now I have turned again to Nature and Freedom.

After War & Peace or Gone with the Wind read:

REVIEW A Daoist, like a turtle, won’t govern Reject benevolence and virtue Good rulers are a disaster The Wheelwright, butcher, and carpenter have a knack for the dao Advising rulers is risky Don’t improve the Hundun to death
