Li Bai - Lu Mountain, KiangsiLi Bai - Lu Mountain, Kiangsi
Work rating: Low


I climbed west on Incense Cloud Peak.        South I saw the spray-filled falls        Dropping for ten thousand feet        Sounding in a hundred gorges,        Suddenly as if lightning shone,        Strange as if light-wet rainbows lifted.        I thought the Milky Way had shattered,        Scattering stars through the clouds, downwards.        Looking up an even greater force.        Nature’s powers are so intense.        The Cosmic Wind blows there without stop.        The river’s moon echoes back the light        Into vortices where waters rush.        On both sides the clear walls were washed,        By streams of pearl broken into mist,        By clouds of foam whitening over rock.        Let me reach those Sublime Hills        Where peace comes to the quiet heart.        No more need to find the magic cup.        I’ll wash the dust, there, from my face,        And live in those regions that I love,        Separated from the Human World.
