After lunch--one short nap:
On waking up--two cups of tea.
Raising my head, I see the sun’s light
Once again slanting to the south-west.
長歌時獨酌,飽食後安眠。
聞道山榴發,明朝向玉泉。
Arthur Waley
Those who are happy regret the shortness of the day;
Those who are sad tire of the year’s sloth.
But those whose hearts are devoid of joy or sadness
Just go on living, regardless of “short” or “long.”
