The Taoist master Meng Haoran left his office when he was young and grew old among the pines and clouds. He got drunk on moonlight, became fascinated with flowers, wrote poems, and became a saint. Even the emperor praised him. I can’t begin to see his full worth; at best, I might smell his fragrance.
吾爱孟夫子,风流天下闻。 红颜弃轩冕,白首卧松云。 醉月频中圣,迷花不事君。 高山安可仰,徒此揖清芬。
