Confucius - The Contentment Of A Poor RecluseConfucius - The Contentment Of A Poor Recluse
Work rating: Low


My only door some pieces of crossed wood,   Within it I can rest enjoy. I drink the water wimpling from the spring;   Nor hunger can my peace destroy. Purged from ambition`s aims I say, "For fish.   We need not bream caught in the Ho; Nor, to possess the sweets of love, require   To Ts`e, to find a Keang, to go. "The man contented with his lot, a meal   Of fish without Ho carp can make; Nor needs, to rest in his domestic joy,   A Tsze of Sung as wife to take."
