沐芳莫弹冠，浴兰莫振衣。 处世忌太洁，至人贵藏晖。 沧浪有钓叟，吾与尔同归。
Bathed and Washed Li
Po
‘Bathed
in fragrance, do
not brush your hat; Washed
in perfume, do
not shake your coat:
‘Knowing
the world fears
what is too pure, The
wisest man prizes
and stores light!’
By
Bluewater an
old angler stat: You
and I together, let
us go home.
（Arthur Cooper 译）
Fisherman Friend Li
Pai
If
you have washed your hair in
scented water, do not dust your
hat; then if you have the
fragrance of the baths still
on you, do not shake your
clothes; no one likes one
who is too good; the wise man hides
his perfections; hey there, old
fisherman friend1, wait for me, I’m
coming along with you!
1.
The old fisherman is a typical common man.
