Poems of Meng Jiao

题韦少保静恭宅藏书洞

Inscribed in Wei Shaobao's Library in Quiet Reverence House


高意合天制
自然状无穷
仙华凝四时
玉藓生数峰

High thoughts accord with Heaven's governance
And, naturally, their form is boundless.
Immortal glory increases with every season
Like jade moss on numerous high peaks.

书秘漆文字
匣藏金蛟龙
闲为气候肃
开作云雨浓

Obscure books, painted in brush-writing,
Bookcases like golden-scaled dragons,
All guarded by a climate of reverence
So that works done here are full of grace.

洞隐谅非久
岩梦诚必通
将缀文士集
贯就真珠丛

This hidden cave of unknown age,
Dream mountain where certain wisdom is attained.
It will bring together all this scholar's works,
Threading together his cluster of natural pearls.

-- 孟郊


废话

A poem for a friend. I can find no reference to any Wei Shaobao. The only thing I can say is that the poet is again absent from the poem. But, somehow, in this kind of poem, that doesn't seem to signify anything, Five Gurglings-wise.
