Liu Zhongyuan: Like Sharp Swords, Stand Many Pointed Hills By The Sea柳宗元 海畔尖山似劍芒 秋來處處割愁腸 Poem by Frank Yue

"Admiring the Hills view with Monk Hao Chu and Sending this Poem to My Relatives and Friends at Chang'an"
-LIU ZONGYUAN (772-842)
-Translated by Frank C Yue

Like sharp swords, stand many pointed hills by the sea;
Into pieces my anxious Autumn guts, cut they would.
How could I transform m'self into a million me -
Atop each hill, so gaze at my village I could?


《与浩初上人同看山寄京华亲故》
唐 • 柳宗元

海畔尖山似剑芒，
秋来处处割愁肠。
若为化得身千亿，
散上峰头望故乡。


《與浩初上人同看山寄京華親故》
唐 • 柳宗元

海畔尖山似劍芒，
秋來處處割愁腸。
若為化身得千億，
散上峰頭望故鄉。
