Du Fu: A view of Taishan

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?

望岳

杜甫

岱宗夫如何， 齐鲁青未了。

造化钟神秀， 阴阳割昏晓。

荡胸生层云， 决眥入归鸟。

会当凌绝顶， 一览众山小。
