The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan

Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt

Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century

18

On a legendary horse, with a coral whip,
he dashes down the Luoyang road.
Such a proud, handsome boy
doesn’t believe in aging and decline,
though his hair is sure to turn white.
How long can his rosy cheeks remain?
Just look north to the mountain of tombs—
that is the Island of the Immortals.
