Bai Juyi

6/18/21 • West of Jia pavilion and north of Lonely Hill; water brims level with the bank and clouds hang low. • Disputing for sunny trees, early orioles trill; pecking vernal mud in ,young swallows come and go. • A riot of blooms begins to dazzle the eye; amid short grass the horse hoofs can barely be seen. • I love best the east of the lake under the sky; the bank paved with white sand is shaded by willows green. • 孤山寺北贾亭西，水面初平于脚低。 • 几处早莺争暖树，谁家新燕啄春泥。 • 乱花渐欲迷人眼，浅草才能没马蹄。 • 最爱湖东行不足，绿杨阴里白沙堤。

6/18/21 Written on the Wall at West Forest Temple • It’s a range viewed in face and 题西林壁 peaks viewed from the side. • Assuming different shapes viewed from far and wide. • Of Mountain Lu we cannot make out the true face. • For we are lost in the heart of the very place. • 横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同。 • 不识庐山真面目，叧缘身在此山中 。 Key Words
