Hồ Xuân Hương (胡春香; 1772–1822) was a Vietnamese poet born at the end of the Lê Dynasty. She grew up in an era of political and social turmoil – the time of the Tây Sơn rebellion and a three-decade civil war that led to Nguyễn Ánh seizing power as Emperor Gia Long and starting the Nguyen Dynasty. She wrote poetry using Chữ Nôm (Southern Script), which adapts Chinese characters for writing demotic Vietnamese. She is considered to be one of Vietnam's greatest classical poet. Xuân Diệu, a prominent modern poet, dubbed her "The Queen of Nôm poetry".

Quotes by Hồ Xuân Hương (?)

“Drop by drop rain slaps the banana leaves,

Praise whoever sketched this desolate scene:

the lush, dark canopies of the gnarled trees,

the long river, sliding smooth and white.

I lift my wine flask, drunk with rivers and hills.

My backpack, breathing moonlight, sags with poems.

Look, and love everyone.

Whoever sees this landscape is stunned.”
― Ho Xuan Huong, Spring Essence: The Poetry of Hô Xuân Huong

“Rodzice go nam dali, gdyśmy się rodzili
Więc dlaczego być miałby czymś bardzo wstydliwym?
W nocy, choć nie ma oczu, błyszczy jaśniej od lampy,
Na głowie ma czapeczkę z wierzchołkiem czerwonym,
Z grzbietu zwisa mu ciemny woreczek z kulkami”
― Hồ Xuân Hương, Poezje

“Geniusz natury stworzył tę masę skalistą
I przeciął na dwa bloki głęboką szczeliną.
Dookoła otworu na ścianach mchy rosną,
Szumią sosny, wtórując wichrowym poświstom.
Krople wody, spadając dźwięk wydają miły -
Droga wiedzie w szczelinę daleką i mglistą
Cześć zręcznemu artyście co ciosał tę skałę
I rozłupał, by mogli zaglądać w nią wszyscy!”
― Hồ Xuân Hương, Poezje
