Gazing At Mount Tai

How to describe Tai mountain?

Its green towers above all of Chi and Lu!

Here the Creator concentrated divine beauty;its north and south sides split dark from dawn.

Chest pounding, you reach the birthplace of clouds;bursting eyes fill with birds returning to nest.

Someday I must climb to the very top,look down on all of the little mountains at once.

Another translation:

For all this, what is the mountain god like?

An unending green of lands north and south:

From ethereal beauty Creation

There, yin and yang split dusk and dawn.

Swelling clouds sweep by.

Returning

Ruin my eyes vanishing.

One day soon,

At the summit, the other mountains will

Small enough to hold, all in a single glance.
