望岳

望岳

岱宗夫如何? 齊魯青未了。

造化鐘神秀， 陰陽割昏曉。

蕩胸生層云， 決?入歸鳥。

會當凌絕頂， 一覽眾山小。

A VIEW OF TAISHAN

Du Fu

What shall I say of the Great Peak? --

The ancient dukedoms are everywhere green,

Inspired and stirred by the breath of creation,

With the Twin Forces balancing day and night.

...I bare my breast toward opening clouds,

I strain my sight after birds flying home.

When shall I reach the top and hold

All mountains in a single glance?
