望岳
杜甫
岱宗夫如何， 齊魯青未了。
造化鍾神秀， 陰陽割昏曉。
盪胸生層雲， 決眥入歸鳥。
會當凌絕頂， 一覽眾山小。

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?
