杜甫
夢李白之一
死別已吞聲， 生別常惻惻。
江南瘴癘地， 逐客無消息。
故人入我夢， 明我長相憶；
君今在羅網， 何以有羽翼？
恐非平生魂， 路遠不可測。
魂來楓林青， 魂返關塞黑；
落月滿屋梁， 猶疑照顏色。
水深波浪闊， 無使蛟龍得。

SEEING Li Bai IN A DREAM I
There are sobs when death is the cause of parting;
But life has its partings again and again.
…From the poisonous damps of the southern river
You had sent me not one sign from your exile —
Till you came to me last night in a dream,
Because I am always thinking of you.
I wondered if it were really you,
Venturing so long a journey.
You came to me through the green of a forest,
You disappeared by a shadowy fortress….
Yet out of the midmost mesh of your snare,
How could you lift your wings and use them?
…I woke, and the low moon’s glimmer on a rafter
Seemed to be your face, still floating in the air.
…There were waters to cross, they were wild and tossing;
If you fell, there were dragons and rivermonsters.
