"Pine Winds in Ten Thousand Valleys"*--Landscape Etude 1.
Exercises after masterpiece landscape paintings
Wind ceases to blow
The frail cloth still hard to conceal...
Thousands of pine needles all of a sudden
Stop probing, stop tinkling--motionless, translucent
Absolutely soundless
When the wind was blowing, I felt no cold
Only heard the pines surging
As if thousands of needles were pricking
My blood had spurted
Invisibly...
Visible?
I hide in the tremendous scroll
Lie stiff in pine winds among ten thousand valleys
Concealing
My only faulty stroke
Viable?
The slip of pen yet is like a deviant, underlying stream
Surpassing time and space, promises
The sinuous valleys, the twisting pines
Resonant, vital...
*Li Tang (ca. 1050-1130), "Pine Winds in Ten Thousand Valleys,"
National Palace Museum (Taiwan), Hanging scroll, ink on silk,
188.7 x 139.8 cm.
