湛方生·《帆入南湖》
彭蠡纪三江，庐岳主众阜。
白沙净川路，青松蔚岩首。
此水何时流？此山何时有？
人运互推迁，兹器独长久。
悠悠宇宙中，古今迭先后。
Sailing to the South Lake
Chan Fang-sheng
P’eng-li commands three rivers.
Mount Lu masters other hills.
White sand cleans the waterway.
Green pines cover hanging crags.
This water: since when, its flow?
This mountain: since when, its being?
Man’s fate changes from this to that!
These forms alone stay forever.
Within the distant reach of the cosmos,
Past, present, in order, first, last.
（Wai-lim Yip 译）
