Li Po
(701-762 A.D)
Li Po is perhaps one of the most well known Taoist poets. He was very close to the Confucian poet Tu-Fu, whom he influenced.


"Calling on a Taoist Priest in Tai-t'ien Mountaoin
but Failing to See Him"

A dog barks amid the sound of water;
Peach blossoms tinged by dew take on a deeper tone.
In the dense woods at times I see deer;
By the brook I hear no bells at noon.
Wild bamboos divide the blue haze;
Tumbling waterfalls hang from the green cliff.
No one can tell me where you are,
Saddened, I lean against the pines.
