Stately Pines on Mount Hua
Stately Pines on Mount Hua
Shi-Lu
Hanging scroll, ink on paper The theme of Shi's poem is the perseverance in adversity of noble spirits: I love the pines of Mount Hua,
Tall, noble, solemn, and dignified.
Their thrusting trunks vie with the sun and the moon.
Resisting cold winds through the years,
They shake their arms at the sky-scraping ridge
And hold high their heads, like striding blue dragons.
They support the clouds forever,
Without taking flight to the heavens. -
