Gao Ding

thumb|Children return home in haste after school,Eager to fly kites when there is yet wind. Gao Ding (高鼎) was a Chinese poet of the Qing dynasty. Quotes 草长莺飞二月天，拂堤杨柳醉春烟。儿童放学归来早，忙趁东风放纸鸢。 Orioles fly over tall grasses in second-month weather;Willows sweep the riverbank, intoxicated with mist.Children return home in haste after school,Eager to fly kites when there is yet wind. "Living in a Village" (《村居》), in Four-line poems of the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties (Translated in English), p. 311 (978-7560025827) Variant translation: Grass is stretching, birds are dancing in the spring days.The willow trees wholeheartedly absorb the sun's rays.My after-school schedule today is unusually tight.The first business is, of course, in east wind to kite.
