Looking for the Hermit, without Finding Him – Jia Dao (779-843)
I’m questioning the young lad underneath the pine trees,
My master, he says, is fetching herbs over there,
He can only be somewhere on this very mountain,
But the clouds are too thick to know exactly where.
Tang poetry, translated by Prof. Dr. Dan KJ Vercammen
