赠孟浩然
李白
吾爱孟夫子， 风流天下闻。
红颜弃轩冕， 白首卧松云。
醉月频中圣， 迷花不事君。
高山安可仰？ 徒此挹清芬。
A MESSAGE TO MENG HAORAN
Li Bai
Master, I hail you from my heart,
And your fame arisen to the skies....
Renouncing in ruddy youth the importance of hat and chariot,
You chose pine-trees and clouds; and now, whitehaired,
Drunk with the moon, a sage of dreams,
Flower- bewitched, you are deaf to the Emperor....
High mountain, how I long to reach you,
Breathing your sweetness even here!
