Born into a poor aristocratic family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming(365-427) was one of China`s greatest poets and a noted recluse. A master of the five-word line, Tao has been described as the first great “poet of fields and gardens.”
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher. He began writing nature poetry in his early twenties. In 1845, he began his famous two-year stay at Walden Pond, which he wrote about in his masterwork, Walden.
Read the short introductions to Tao Yuanming and Henry David
好好度过每一个季节,
呼吸新鲜的空气,畅饮美酒,品尝水果,
尽情享受这一切。
让生活中只有饮食和草药。
Thoreau 梭罗
Live in each season as it passes;
breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit,
and resign yourself to the influences of each.
Let them be your only diet, drink and botanical medicines.
归园田居(其一)
陶渊明
少无适俗韵,性本爱丘山。
误落尘网中,一去十三年。
羁鸟恋旧林,池鱼思故渊。
开荒南野际,守拙归园田。
方宅十余亩,草屋八九间。
榆柳荫后檐,桃李罗堂前。
暧暧远人村,依依墟里烟。
狗吠深巷中,鸡鸣桑树颠。
户庭无尘杂,虚室有余闲。
久在樊笼里,复得返自然。
