Matching the Rhymes of Yi the Joint Manager (平章) on the Eight Views of Ganzhou (虔州) — Clear-Day Haze over the Mountain Village次韻李平章虔州八景詩 山市晴嵐
Dongguk Isangguk Jip (Collected Works of Minister Yi of the Eastern Country) Latter Collection, Book 6 The collected writings of Yi Gyubo of Goryeo, gathered and cut in woodblock by his son Yi Ham in 1241 and revised and enlarged by his grandson Yi Ikbae in 1251. It holds poems and rhapsodies, memorials and reports sent up to the king, records written for temples and pagodas, stele and tomb inscriptions, letters and prefaces, and the state letters that passed to and from the Mongols during the invasions. The Lay of King Dongmyeong, which sings the founder of Goguryeo, stands in volume 3 of the first collection, and the daily life of a man who called himself the White Cloud Layman — with his wine, his zither and his verse — fills the later collection. The book closes with the last poem he wrote as his eyes failed and he laid down the brush, and with the dirge and tomb inscription others made for him after his death.
萬疊山深嵐翠重。恰如瓊壁立靑蔥。莫敎風卷須留賞。我愛僧行海浪中。
Ten thousand folds of mountain run deep, the blue of the mountain air layer on layer, just as if cliffs of jade stood there green and glistening. Do not let the wind sweep it away; leave it there to be looked at. I like the very look of a monk walking through the waves of the sea.
