Xianglufeng peak viewed on trail from Donglinsi to Kuling
Having Climbed to the Topmost Peak of the Incense-burner Mountain

Bai Juyi 772-846
Up and up, the Incense-burner Peak!
In my heart is stored what my eyes and ears perceived.
All the year--detained by official business;
Today at last I got a chance to go.
Grasping the creepers, I clung to dangerous rocks;
My hands and feet--weary with groping for hold.
There came with me three of four friends,
But two friends dared not go further.
At last we reached the topmost crest of the Peak;
My eyes were blinded, my soul rocked and reeled.
The chasm beneath me--ten thousand feet;
The ground I stood on, only a foot wide.
If you have not exhausted the scope of seeing and hearing,
How can you realize the wideness of the world?
The waters of the River looked narrow as a ribbon,
Peng Castle smaller than a man's fist.
How it clings, the dust of the world's halter!
Coming home I thought this over and sighed;
Then, with lowered head, came back to the Ants' Nest.
