In our bathroom we have a small picture of Shide, co-conspirator on the matters of the heart with the poet Hanshan. I found it in a small antique shop in Seal Beach a lot of years ago. Sadly, they didn\u2019t have the companion image of the old boy himself.<\/p>\n

On the other hand I like how I see Shide, grinning at me, and can\u2019t help but recall the other. Sort of like the human mind itself, a dance within a dance. Always someone reaching out. And in the shadows someone reaching back.<\/p>\n

Hanshan<\/a>, \u201cCold Mountain,\u201d was a recluse living on Cold Mountain. We know next to nothing about him, nor, for that matter them. We aren\u2019t even sure of his dates, or, for that matter, his historicity. Maybe he was a Zen Buddhist<\/a>. Perhaps he was a Daoist. Or, possibly, not\u2026<\/p>\n

All of which is rather delicious.<\/p>\n

Here are twenty-four of the poems translated by the, to my heart, equally wonderful poet for our time, Gary Snyder<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

THE COLD MOUNTAIN POEMS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The path to Han-shan\u2019s place is laughable,
\n<\/span>A path, but no sign of cart or horse.
\n<\/span>Converging gorges\u2014hard to trace their twists
\n<\/span>Jumbled cliffs\u2014unbelievably rugged.
\n<\/span>A thousand grasses bend with dew,
\n<\/span>A hill of pines hums in the wind.
\n<\/span>And now I\u2019ve lost the shortcut home,
\n<\/span>Body asking shadow, how do you keep up?<\/span><\/p>\n

In a tangle of cliffs, I chose a place\u2014
\nBird paths, but no trails for me.
\n<\/span>What\u2019s beyond the yard?
\n<\/span>White clouds clinging to vague rocks.
\n<\/span>Now I\u2019ve lived here\u2014how many years\u2014
\n<\/span>Again and again, spring and winter pass.
\n<\/span>Go tell families with silverware and cars
\n<\/span>\u201cWhat\u2019s the use of all that noise and money?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the mountains it\u2019s cold.
\nAlways been cold, not just this year.
\n<\/span>Jagged scarps forever snowed in
\n<\/span>Woods in the dark ravines spitting mist.
\n<\/span>Grass is still sprouting at the end of June,
\n<\/span>Leaves begin to fall in early August.
\n<\/span>And here I am, high on mountains,
\n<\/span>Peering and peering, but I can\u2019t even see the sky. <\/span><\/p>\n

I spur my horse through the wrecked town,
\n<\/span>The wrecked town sinks my spirit.
\n<\/span>High, low, old parapet walls
\n<\/span>Big, small, the aging tombs.
\n<\/span>I waggle my shadow, all alone;
\n<\/span>Not even the crack of a shrinking coffin is heard.
\n<\/span>I pity all those ordinary bones,
\n<\/span>In the books of the Immortals they are nameless.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted a good place to settle:
\n<\/span>Cold Mountain would be safe.
\n<\/span>Light wind in a hidden pine\u2014
\n<\/span>Listen close\u2014the sound gets better.
\n<\/span>Under it a gray haired man
\n<\/span>Mumbles along reading Huang and Lao.
\n<\/span>For ten years I havn\u2019t gone back home
\n<\/span>I\u2019ve even forgotten the way by which I came.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men ask the way to Cold Mountain
\n<\/span>Cold Mountain: there\u2019s no through trail.
\n<\/span>In summer, ice doesn\u2019t melt
\n<\/span>The rising sun blurs in swirling fog.
\n<\/span>How did I make it?
\n<\/span>My heart\u2019s not the same as yours.
\n<\/span>If your heart was like mine
\n<\/span>You\u2019d get it and be right here.<\/span><\/p>\n

I settled at Cold Mountain long ago,
\n<\/span>Already it seems like years and years.
\n<\/span>Freely drifting, I prowl the woods and streams
\n<\/span>And linger watching things themselves.
\n<\/span>Men don\u2019t get this far into the mountains,
\n<\/span>White clouds gather and billow.
\n<\/span>Thin grass does for a mattress,
\n<\/span>The blue sky makes a good quilt.
\n<\/span>Happy with a stone under head
\n<\/span>Let heaven and earth go about their changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clambering up the Cold Mountain path,
\n<\/span>The Cold Mountain trail goes on and on:
\n<\/span>The long gorge choked with scree and boulders,
\n<\/span>The wide creek, the mist blurred grass.
\n<\/span>The moss is slippery, though there\u2019s been no rain
\n<\/span>The pine sings, but there\u2019s no wind.
\n<\/span>Who can leap the word\u2019s ties
\n<\/span>And sit with me among the white clouds?<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough and dark\u2014the Cold Mountain trail,
\n<\/span>Sharp cobbles\u2014the icy creek bank.
\n<\/span>Yammering, chirping\u2014always birds
\n<\/span>Bleak, alone, not even a lone hiker.
\n<\/span>Whip, whip\u2014the wind slaps my face
\n<\/span>Whirled and tumbled\u2014snow piles on my back.
\n<\/span>Morning after morning I don\u2019t see the sun
\n<\/span>Year after year, not a sign of spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have lived at Cold Mountain
\n<\/span>These thirty long years.
\n<\/span>Yesterday I called on friends and family:
\n<\/span>More than half had gone to the Yellow Springs.
\n<\/span>Slowly consumed, like fire down a candle;
\n<\/span>Forever flowing, like a passing river.
\n<\/span>Now, morning, I face my lone shadow:
\n<\/span>Suddenly my eyes are bleared with tears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring water in the green creek is clear
\n<\/span>Moonlight on Cold Mountain is white
\n<\/span>Silent knowledge\u2014the spirit is enlightened of itself
\n<\/span>Contemplate the void: this world exceeds stillness.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my first thirty years of life
\nI roamed hundreds and thousands of miles.
\nWalked by rivers through deep green grass
\nEntered cities of boiling red dust.
\nTried drugs, but couldn\u2019t make Immortal;
\nRead books and wrote poems on history.
\nToday I\u2019m back at Cold Mountain:
\nI\u2019ll sleep by the creek and purify my ears.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>I can\u2019t stand these bird songs
\n<\/span>Now I\u2019ll go rest in my straw shack.
\n<\/span>The cherry flowers are scarlet
\n<\/span>The willow shoots up feathery.
\n<\/span>Morning sun drives over blue peaks
\n<\/span>Bright clouds wash green ponds.
\n<\/span>Who knows that I\u2019m out of the dusty world
\n<\/span>Climbing the southern slope of Cold Mountain?<\/span><\/p>\n

Cold Mountain has many hidden wonders,
\n<\/span>People who climb here are always getting scared.
\n<\/span>When the moon shines, water sparkles clear
\n<\/span>When the wind blows, grass swishes and rattles.
\n<\/span>On the bare plum, flowers of snow
\n<\/span>On the dead stump, leaves of mist.
\n<\/span>At the touch of rain it all turns fresh and live
\n<\/span>At the wrong season you can\u2019t ford the creeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a naked bug at Cold Mountain
\n<\/span>With a white body and a black head.
\n<\/span>His hand holds two book scrolls,
\n<\/span>One the Way and one its Power.
\n<\/span>His shack\u2019s got no pots or oven,
\n<\/span>He goes for a long walk with his shirt and pants askew.
\n<\/span>But he always carries the sword of wisdom:
\n<\/span>He means to cut down sensless craving.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cold Mountain is a house
\nWithout beams or walls.
\nThe six doors left and right are open
\nThe hall is blue sky.
\nThe rooms all vacant and vague
\nThe east wall beats on the west wall
\nAt the center nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Borrowers don\u2019t bother me
\nIn the cold I build a little fire
\nWhen I\u2019m hungry I boil up some greens.
\nI\u2019ve got no use for the kulak
\nWith his big barn and pasture\u200a\u2014
\nHe just sets up a prison for himself.
\nOnce in he can\u2019t get out.
\nThink it over\u200a\u2014
\nYou know it might happen to you.<\/p>\n

If I hide out at Cold Mountain
\n<\/span>Living off mountain plants and berries\u2014
\n<\/span>All my lifetime, why worry?
\n<\/span>One follows his karma through.
\n<\/span>Days and months slip by like water,
\n<\/span>Time is like sparks knocked off flint.
\n<\/span>Go ahead and let the world change\u2014
\n<\/span>I\u2019m happy to sit among these cliffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most T\u2019ien-t\u2019ai men
\n<\/span>Don\u2019t know Han-shan
\n<\/span>Don\u2019t know his real thought
\n<\/span>And call it silly talk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once at Cold Mountain, troubles cease\u2014
\n<\/span>No more tangled, hung up mind.
\n<\/span>I idly scribble poems on the rock cliff,
\n<\/span>Taking whatever comes, like a drifting boat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Some critic tried to put me down\u2014
\n<\/span>\u201cYour poems lack the Basic Truth of Tao.\u201d
\n<\/span>And I recall the old timers
\n<\/span>Who were poor and didn\u2019t care.
\n<\/span>I have to laugh at him,
\n<\/span>He misses the point entirely,
\n<\/span>Men like that
\n<\/span>Ought to stick to making money.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lived at Cold Mountain\u2014how many autumns.
\n<\/span>Alone, I hum a song\u2014utterly without regret.
\n<\/span>Hungry, I eat one grain of Immortal medicine
\n<\/span>Mind solid and sharp; leaning on a stone.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of Cold Mountain the lone round moon
\n<\/span>Lights the whole clear cloudless sky.
\n<\/span>Honor this priceless natural treasure
\n<\/span>Concealed in five shadows, sunk deep in the flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

My home was at Cold Mountain from the start,
\n<\/span>Rambling among the hills, far from trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gone, and a million things leave no trace
\n<\/span>Loosed, and it flows through galaxies
\n<\/span>A fountain of light, into the very mind\u2014
\n<\/span>Not a thing, and yet it appears before me:
\n<\/span>Now I know the pearl of the Buddha nature
\n<\/span>Know its use: a boundless perfect sphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>They all say he\u2019s crazy
\n<\/span>And not much to look at\u2014
\n<\/span>Dressed in rags and hides.
\n<\/span>They don\u2019t get what I say
