韓翃
同題仙游觀
仙臺初見五城樓， 風物淒淒宿雨收。
山色遙連秦樹晚， 砧聲近報漢宮秋。
疏松影落空壇靜， 細草香閑小洞幽。
何用別尋方外去？ 人間亦自有丹丘。

INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE WANDERING GENIE
I face, high over this enchanted lodge, the Court of the Five Cities of Heaven,
And I see a countryside blue and still, after the long rain.
The distant peaks and trees of Qin merge into twilight,
And Had Palace washing-stones make their autumnal echoes.
Thin pine-shadows brush the outdoor pulpit,
And grasses blow their fragrance into my little cave.
…Who need be craving a world beyond this one?
Here, among men, are the Purple Hills
