天末懷李白 杜甫

天末懷李白    杜甫(712-770)

涼風起天末，君子意如何？

鴻雁幾時到，江湖秋水多。
文章憎命達，魑魅喜人過。
應共冤魂語，投詩贈汨羅。

Thinking of Li Bai from world’s end        Du Fu (712-770)

Cold winds rise at world’s end,

Sir, how am I to read into your intent?
When will the faraway messenger goose ever land?
In the rivers and lakes autumnal waters begin to expand;
Literary fame loathes those kismet heaves up the ranks,
Ravening demons pounce on anyone who offers them the chance,
Do have a word with the soul of the poet who was also wrongly apprehended,
Drop some verses into River Miluo entreating his helping hand.
