唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

北青蘿
殘陽西入崦， 茅屋訪孤僧。
落葉人何在？ 寒雲路幾層。
獨敲初夜磬， 閑倚一枝藤。
世界微塵裡， 吾寧愛與憎。

原文 160

Where the sun has entered the western hills,
I look for a monk in his little straw hut;
But only the fallen leaves are at home,
And I turn through chilling levels of cloud
I hear a stone gong in the dusk,
I lean full-weight on my slender staff
How within this world, within this grain of dust,
Can there be any room for the passions of men?

Bynner 160
