Autumn: 3 by Tom Sharp

Day after day, I sit in the tower by the river and admire the green hills. At dawn, night fishermen are still fishing and swallows are swooping over the water. The emperor scorns ministers who stand up to him; no one wants to give him good advice. Wealthy men don’t object to corruption; fine clothes and fat horses give them peace of mind.

秋兴 (三) by 杜甫 (Du Fu)

千家山郭静朝晖，一日江楼坐翠微。 信宿渔人还泛泛，清秋燕子故飞飞。 匡衡抗疏功名薄，刘向传经心事违。 同学少年多不贱，五陵衣马自轻肥。
