The Jade Mountain/A View of T'ai-shan

​
A VIEW OF T'AI-SHAN
What shall I say of the Great Peak?—The ancient dukedoms are everywhere green,Inspired and stirred by the breath of creation,With the Twin Forces balancing day and night.. . . I bare my breast toward opening clouds,I strain my sight after birds flying home.When shall I reach the top and holdAll mountains in a single glance?
