唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

廬山謠寄盧侍御虛舟
我本楚狂人， 鳳歌笑孔丘。
手持綠玉杖， 朝別黃鶴樓；
五嶽尋仙不辭遠， 一生好入名山遊。
廬山秀出南斗傍， 屏風九疊雲錦張；
影落明湖青黛光， 金闕前開二峰長。
銀河倒挂三石梁， 香爐瀑布遙相望。
迴崖沓障淩蒼蒼， 翠影紅霞映朝日，
鳥飛不到吳天長。
登高壯觀天地間， 大江茫茫去不黃。
黃雲萬里動風色， 白波九道流雪山。
好為廬山謠， 興因廬山發。
閑窺石鏡清我心， 謝公行處蒼苔沒。
早服還丹無世情， 琴心三疊道初成；
遙見仙人彩雲裡， 手把芙蓉朝玉京。
先期汗漫九垓上， 願接盧敖遊太清。
又作還

原文 53

I am the madman of the Chu country
Who sang a mad song disputing Confucius.
...Holding in my hand a staff of green jade,
I have crossed, since morning at the Yellow Crane Terrace,
All five Holy Mountains, without a thought of distance,
According to the one constant habit of my life.
Lu Mountain stands beside the Southern Dipper
In clouds reaching silken like a nine-panelled screen,
With its shadows in a crystal lake deepening the green water.
The Golden Gate opens into two mountain-ranges.
A silver stream is hanging down to three stone bridges
Within sight of the mighty Tripod Falls.
Ledges of cliff and winding trails lead to blue sky
And a flush of cloud in the morning sun,
Whence no flight of birds could be blown into Wu.
...I climb to the top. I survey the whole world.
I see the long river that runs beyond return,
Yellow clouds that winds have driven hundreds of miles
And a snow-peak whitely circled by the swirl of a ninefold stream.
And so I am singing a song of Lu Mountain,
A song that is born of the breath of Lu Mountain.
...Where the Stone Mirror makes the heart's purity purer
And green moss has buried the footsteps of Xie,
I have eaten the immortal pellet and, rid of the world's troubles,
Before the lute's third playing have achieved my element.
Far away I watch the angels riding coloured clouds
Toward heaven's Jade City, with hibiscus in their hands.
And so, when I have traversed the nine sections of the world,
I will follow Saint Luao up the Great Purity.
