Try And Make It To Cold Mountain





When men see Han Shan
they all say he's crazy
and not much to look at---
dressed in rags and hides.
They don't get what I say
and I don't talk their language.
All I can say to those I meet:
"Try and make it
to Cold Mountain."
--Han Shan
from Cold Mountain Poems
