与高适薛据登慈恩寺浮图

岑参

塔势如涌出， 孤高耸天宫。

登临出世界， 磴道盘虚空。

突兀压神州， 峥嵘如鬼工。

四角碍白日， 七层摩苍穹。

下窥指高鸟， 俯听闻惊风。

连山若波涛， 奔凑如朝东。

青槐夹驰道， 宫馆何玲珑。

秋色从西来， 苍然满关中。

五陵北原上， 万古青蒙蒙。

净理了可悟， 胜因夙所宗。

誓将挂冠去， 觉道资无穷。

ASCENDING^{1 THE PAGODA2 AT THE TEMPLE OF KIND}

FAVOUR WITH GAO SHI AND XUE JU

Cen Can

The pagoda, rising abruptly^{3 from earth,}

Reaches to the very Palace of Heaven.

Climbing, we seem to have left the world behind us,

With the steps we look down on hung from space.

It overTOPs a holy land

And can only have been built by toil^{4 of the spirit.}

Its four sides darken the bright sun,

Its seven stories cut the grey clouds;

Birds fly down beyond our sight,

And the rapid wind below our hearing;

Mountain-ranges, toward the east,

Appear to be curving and flowing like rivers;

Far green locust-trees line broad roads

Toward clustered palaces and mansions^5;

Colours of autumn, out of the west,

Enter advancing through the city;

And northward^{6 there lie, in five graveyards7,}

Calm forever under dewy green grass,

Those who know life's final meaning

Which all humankind must learn.

Henceforth I put my official hat aside.

To find the Eternal Way is the only happiness.
