Best 7 quotes of Lu Tong on MyQuotes

I am in no way interested in immortality, but only in the taste of tea.

I am not interested in immortality but only in tea flavour.

I care not a jot for immortal life, but only for the taste of tea.

The first bowl sleekly moistened throat and lips, The second banished all my loneliness The third expelled the dullness from my mind, Sharpening inspiration gained from all the books I've read. The fourth brought forth light perspiration, Dispersing a lifetimes troubles through my pores. The fifth bowl cleansed every atom of my being. The sixth has made me kin to the Immortals. This seventh... I can take no more.

The first cup caresses my dry lips and throat, The second shatters the walls of my loneliness, The third explores the dry rivulets of my soul Searching for legends of five thousand scrolls. With the fourth the pain of past injustice vanishes through my pores. The fifth purifies my flesh and bone. With the sixth I commune with the immortals. The seventh conveys such pleasure I am overcome. The fresh wind blows through my wings As I make my way to Penglai.

The first cup moistens my lips and throat; The second cup breaks my loneliness; The third cup searches my barren entrail but to find therein some thousand volumes of odd ideographs; The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration-all the wrongs of life pass out through my pores; At the fifth cup I am purified; The sixth cup calls me to the realms of the immortals. The seventh cup-ah, but I could take no more! I only feel the breath of the cool wind that raises in my sleeves. Where is Elysium? Let me ride on this sweet breeze and waft away thither.

Während die erste Tasse Tee mir die Lippen und Kehle befeuchtet, die zweite meine Trauer vertreibt, die dritte mein Inneres durchforscht, fange ich bei der vierten Tasse an zu schwitzen, so dass alles Schlechte ausgeschieden wird. Bei der fünften Tasse bin ich gereinigt, die sechste Tasse bringt mich der Unsterblichkeit nahe, doch erst die siebente Tasse lässt mich den Hauch des Windes fühlen, der mich zu den Inseln der Unsterblichkeit trägt.
