☆ Poetry by Wei Zhigu (647-715, Tang Dynasty, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


Now where is Taoist priest?
Emptily sought between Yi and Luo Waters
Suddenly heard he returned in the bitter county
Wanted to go through the Han Pass again
Did not make the millennium farewell
Should return in seven days
Immortal is not invisible
Lonely return Penglai Mountain today

★ 玄元观寻李先生不遇（五律）

☆ 魏知古 诗


羽客今何在
空寻伊洛间
忽闻归苦县
复想入函关
未作千年别
犹应七日还
神仙不可见
寂寞返蓬山
