This author ends a short poem "Lifting my head/ I watch the bright moon,/Lowering my head/ I dream that I'm home". In another work, this poet toasts themoon because it and his shadow give him two companions. This author of (+) QuietNight Thoughts notes that "a cup of wine levels life and death" and says that he would never tell his secrets to a sober person. The narrator of another of his poems speaks of the loud sound of (*) monkeys after a five month absence and promises to come meet her addressee "as far as Cho-fu-sa". That narrator, Rihaku, mentions her hair being cut straight across her forehead when her future husband passes on bamboo stilts and laments his departure at 16 for the Yangtze. For ten points, name this Tang-era poet of Drinking Alone by Moonlight and The River Merchant's
