 | | A noble by birth, Ch'ü Yüan wrote Li Sao (Encountering Sorrow), a long, autobiographical poem full of historical allusions, allegories, and similes, lyrically expressed and concerned with the intimate revelation of a poetic soul tormented because it has failed in its search for a beautiful ideal. |
 | | Li Bo, a leader of the romantic school, rebelled against poetic conventions, as he did against society in general. |
 | | Li Bo was at his best when he sang of love and friendship; of the delights of wine; and of the strange, majestic, and awe-inspiring aspects of nature. |
