Poem on a Riverside Pavilion
Wang Duo Chinese
Not on view
Like many of his large scrolls of boisterous calligraphy, Wang Duo wrote this one while drinking with friends. Though the calligraphy is rough and bold, the poem describes a scene of sparse tranquility. The opening quatrain reads:
At dusk, in a remote pavilion,
I bring a ewer of wine to accompany the new year.
River and the sky meet in the vast distance,
A temple in the mist disappears into the void.
