Excerpt from The Mountain Spring: And Other Poems I wandered down a mountain road, Past flower and rock and lichen gray, Alone with nature and her God Upon a flitting summer day. The forest skirted to the edge Of Capon river, Hampshire's gem, Which, bathing many a primrose ledge, Oft sparkled like a diadem. At length a silvery spring I spied, Gurgling through moss and fern along, Waiting to bless With cooling tide All Who were gladdened by its song. Oh, Who would pass With thirsting lip And burning brow, this limpid wave? Who would not pause With joy and sip? Its crystal depths Who would not crave? This query Woke a voice Within Why slight the spring of God's great love, That fount that cleanseth from all Sin, Our purchase paid by Christ above?

"[...] Swiftly we float upon time's tide Adown the stream of years. Sometimes past hills of joy we glide, Sometimes through vales of tears. Age follows youth, which, ere we know, Has vanished like a dream, And takes its glamour from the glow Of mem'ry's silvery gleam. There is no halt; and more and more There seems an open sea Reaching us with its ceaseless roar- It is eternity. There is one Pilot that we need, One who can safely steer, One who at heaven's court can plead, And all our journey cheer. 'Tis Jesus Christ; and all who see In him the truth, the[...]".

The first full flowering of Chinese poetry occurred in the illustrious T’ang Dynasty, and at the beginning of this renaissance stands Meng Hao-jan (689-740 c.e.), esteemed elder to a long line of China’s greatest poets. Deeply influenced by Ch’an (Zen) Buddhism, Meng was the first to make poetry from the Ch’an insight that deep understanding lies beyond words. The result was a strikingly distilled language that opened new inner depths, non-verbal insights, and outright enigma. This made Meng Hao-jan China’s first master of the short imagistic landscape poem that came to typify ancient Chinese poetry. And as a lifelong intimacy with mountains dominates Meng’s work, such innovative poetics made him a preeminent figure in the wilderness (literally rivers-and-mountains) tradition, and that tradition is the very heart of Chinese poetry. This is the first English translation devoted to the work of Meng Hao-jan. Meng’s poetic descendents revered the wisdom he cultivated as a mountain recluse, and now we too can witness the sagacity they considered almost indistinguishable from that of rivers and mountains themselves.
