Gone!: A Ballad
Have you not seen the hawk on the gauntlet[1]?—
once it’s eaten its fill, it flies swiftly away.
How could it act like the swallows in the hall,
mud in their beaks, keeping close to the heat?
The man of the wilds is expansive and free, his face never has to show shame,
how can he long remain among princes and counts?
Not having tried the technique in my bag for dining on jade,
tomorrow at dawn I’ll go off for a while into Lantian Mountain.
