A couple of poems by Ho Xuan Huong, a female Vietnamese poet from the early 1800's..

Spring-Watching Pavilion

A gentle spring evening arrives
airily, unclouded by worldly dust.

Three times the bell tolls echoes like a wave.
We see heaven upside down in sad puddles.

Where is nirvana?
Nervana is here, nine times out of ten.

Heaven Market

Praise to the creator, so clever, so teasing,
in bringing forth this field called Heaven Market.

where breezes riffle mornings, and sunlight floods the days,
where evening clouds gently drift, and moonlight always plays.

Throughout the four seasons, we find flowers and fruits
in this open-air market bound by hills.

Buyers and sellers of fame and glory
can't cut a deal in Heaven Market.
