Some change occurred in his poems when he was between 53 and 54 years old. It was explained in our previous article that this change was brought about by the death of his wife. Entirely dependent on his wife, Tao was disheartened at his wife's death, and drank alcohol all night long and wrote sorrowful poems wherein he grieved and longed for his wife. The poems generated from his grieving heart moved his readers. Tao revealed his anger and hatred toward the Establishment at least three times in his lifetime. First, he resigned from an official post, because he had been forced to kneel down and worship an incompetent boy who was a member of an exiled aristocratic family. Secondly, the poet, who was already a bedridden old man, refused a gift of food from a general of the Han nation who had paid a visit to him out of curiosity. It is thought that the virulent hatred he felt towards the Establishment came from a brain disorder (due to arteriosclerosis), but it is more likely to have been a burst of pure deep-rooted anger. Thirdly, he expressed his anger at an upstart usurper in the poem ‘The Song of Jing Ke' at the risk of his life, because the usurper not only seized the throne of Eastern Tsuin, but cruelly murdered the ex-King of this kingdom.}, pages = {63--92}, title = {『陶淵明考』(其三)「追想」東と西:漢詩の英訳 (5)}, year = {1993} }
