鱼玄机·《题任处士创资福寺》
幽人创奇境，游客驻行程。
粉壁空留字，莲宫未有名。
凿池泉自出，开径草重生。
百尺金轮阁，当川豁眼明。
A Conscientious Objector Builds the Temple of Prosperity
Yu Xuanji
A recluse creates a realm apart,
Where travelers stop on their way;
anonymous writings are left on the walls,
the shrine has not yet been named.
He dug a pond, and a spring emerged;
he cleared the path, but the grass has regrown.
The lofty golden temple opens eyes wide,
bright and clear at the river’s edge.
（Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译）
