Titled ‘Quiet Night Thoughts‘ (loosely translated to English as above), this is one of the most well known poems by the Tang Dynasty poet, Li Po (Li Bai, as he is known to the Chinese community). This is one of the classic poems in the syllabus to learn, in most Chinese middle schools.

A strong collection of poems from the poet who not just lived Zen but seemed to truly embody its principles. Through his wanderings, his reflections on nature, and his drunkenness, the poet finds moments of transcendence that resonate more than a thousand years since his death.
