Looking Out from Mont Taishan
Du Fu
Translated by Xuemei Li 2018.10.29
How do I know that Taishan is grand?
Its summit is seen from miles beyond.
Nature has created a thousand scenes:
South sees the sun while north is dim.
My heart is pleased with layers of clouds;
My eyes are catching the returning birds.
One must climb up to top of the Mount
To overlook hills being dwarfed around.
