12. ADDRESSED HUMOROUSLY TO TU FU 戲贈杜甫
Here! is this you on the top of Fan-ko Mountain,
Wearing a huge hat in the noon-day sun?
How thin, how wretchedly thin, you have grown!
You must have been suffering from poetry again.
In contrast with Li Po, who depended largely on inspiration, Tu Fu was a painstaking artist careful of the minutest details.
