Shengguo Temple

Shi Chumo 850-900  Leading up from lesser peaks The trail winds above vine-covered slopes The land of Wu ends at the shore The mountains of Yue begin across the river Ancient trees merge with blue mist The distant sky joins the white waves The city wall is so close below Singers and flutes muffle the bell

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese. Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press.
