A Dream Forever Sweet
Wealth and fame certainly are not
with us to stay.
Whereas pursuing aesthetic
experiences turns hair all white.
Are dreams such as these ever
be awaken?
I’d enjoy being drunken with nectar
And lying on grass soft and bold.
- Fred Chou, Hualien, Taiwan
Original version in Mandarin I wrote
some 20 years ago:
名利難相守，
追美到白頭。
何日夢方醒，
醉想花草情。

Thank you very much. Only regret is that I couldn't get the correction I'd like to make, from "醉想” to “醉享花草情” in the Mandarin version. Hadn't realized this mistake until after half an hour, but didnt want to repost, for the reason that few "professors" are out there who may tell the subtle differences, if there are any, though both characters make sense.
