Poems of Meng Jiao
Index
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.
