Ancient Air #33

Li Bo 699-762 In the northern wilderness is a gigantic fish, Its body's length...several thousand li. With a lift of its head         it spouts three mountainsful of snow, Then, reclining,         engulfs one hundred riversful of water. Leaning against a wave         it follows the ocean's tide, With glittering fins, it rises on the wind. I watch it graze the heavens as it flies, At 90,000 li, it still does not rest.

Gǔ Fēnɡ (Běimínɡ)

Lǐ Bái 699-762 Běimínɡ yǒu jùyú, Shēnchánɡ shù qiān lǐ. Yǎnɡ pēn sān shān xuě, Hénɡ tūn bǎi chuān shuǐ. Pínɡ línɡ suí hǎi yùn, Xuǎn hè yīn fēnɡ qǐ. Wú ɡuān mó tiān fēi, Jiǔ wàn fānɡ wèi yǐ.
