梦李白（之一）
杜甫
死别已吞声， 生别常恻恻。
江南瘴疠地， 逐客无消息。
故人入我梦， 明我长相忆。
君今在罗网， 何以有羽翼。
恐非平生魂， 路远不可测。
魂来枫林青， 魂返关塞黑。
落月满屋梁， 犹疑照颜色。
水深波浪阔， 无使蛟龙得。
seeing li bai in a dream（ i ）
du fu
there are sobs when death is the cause of parting;

but life has its partings again and again.
…from the poisonous damps of the southern river
you had sent me not one sign from your exile --
till you came to me last night in a dream,
because i am always thinking of you.
i wondered if it were really you,
venturing so long a journey.
you came to me through the green of a forest,
you disappeared by a shadowy fortress….
yet out of the midmost mesh of your snare,
how could you lift your wings and use them?
…i woke, and the low moon's glimmer on a rafter
seemed to be your face, still floating in the air.
…there were waters to cross, they were wild and tossing;
if you fell, there were dragons and rivermonsters.
