北美華北隆冬已過，趕緊補譯一首唐代河東家鄉文學巨匠柳宗元的千年絕唱，與元朝馬致遠的“古道西風瘦馬”頗有一拼。。

唐 柳宗元《五絕 江雪》

千山鳥飛絕，

萬徑人蹤滅。

孤舟蓑笠翁，

獨釣寒江雪。

Renowned Poetry of Adversity by Tang River-East Poet Liu Zongyuan 

"Five Worded Supreme: Snow River"

Birds have flown extinct from thousands of hills,

no trace of human life is discernible on any trails. 

On the sole boat in straw-laced hat and clothing,

a lone old man on a snow-laden icy river is fishing.
