司空图·《二十四诗品·流动》

若纳水輨,如转丸珠。

夫岂可道,假体如愚。

荒荒坤轴,悠悠天枢。

载要其端,载同其符。

超超神明,返返冥无。

来往千载,是之谓乎。

Motion

Like a whirling water-wheel,

Like rolling pearls,–

Yet how are these worthy to be named?

They are but illustrations for fools.

There is the mighty axis of Earth,

The never-resting pole of Heaven;

Let us grasp their clue,

And with them be blended in One,

Beyond the bounds of thought,

Circling for ever in the great Void,

An orbit of a thousand years,–

Yes, this is the key to my theme.

(Herbert A. Giles 译)
