INSCRIPTION: AT TWILIGHT

水面晴霞石上苔 層層疊疊畫中開 幽人戀住龝光好 薄暮依然未肯回

“Rosy clouds on the water and moss on the stones Layers of layers diffused in painting A hermit in love with autumn scenery Reluctant to return even at twilight.”

Translated by Milin Zhou (OC 2019)

The poem is by the painter and poet Shí Tāo石涛 / 石濤 (1642–1708)
