“Mountain View” 望岳 by Du Fu 杜甫

Mount Tai: so, what is it like?
Toward Qi, toward Lu, endless green.
The Creator concentrates magic.
Part dark, part lit, it severs dusk, dawn.
It sways the heart. Births layers of clouds.
Eyes split wide to take in the homing birds.
One must climb to the peak,
In one sweep observe: other mountains are small.
