Additional quotes by Tao Yuanming

My little children are playing at my side,
Learning to talk, they babble unformed sounds.
These things have made me happy again
And I forget my lost cap of office.
Distant, distant I gaze at the white clouds:
With a deep yearning I think of the Sages of Antiquity.

少无适俗韵,性本爱丘山。
误落尘网中,一去三十年。
羁鸟恋旧林,池鱼思故渊。
开荒南野际,守拙归田园。
方宅十余亩,草屋八九间。
榆柳荫后椋,桃李罗堂前。
暧暧远人村,依依墟里烟。
狗吠深巷中,鸡鸣桑树颠。
户庭无尘杂,虚室有余闲。
久在樊笼里,复得返自然。
