少年風流事
宋 圜悟克勤 ( 1063~1135 )

金鴨香消錦繡幃，笙歌叢裡醉扶歸；
少年一段風流事，只許佳人獨自知。

──選自《嘉泰普燈錄》

Romances of Youth
Yuanwu Keqin (1063 - 1135, Song Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang and Linda Tsui

A bronze duck incense burner and
    splendidly embroidered bed curtains;
Emerging from the jungles of song and music
    all drunken and support needed;
Such episodes of indulgent romance in youth
    are only for the ears of that fair lady herself.

── from Jiatai Pudeng Lu (Record of the Jiatai Era's Transmission of the Lamp)
