鱼玄机·《题任处士创资福寺》

幽人创奇境,游客驻行程。

粉壁空留字,莲宫未有名。

凿池泉自出,开径草重生。

百尺金轮阁,当川豁眼明。

A Conscientious Objector Builds the Temple of Prosperity

Yu Xuanji

A recluse creates a realm apart,

Where travelers stop on their way;

anonymous writings are left on the walls,

the shrine has not yet been named.

He dug a pond, and a spring emerged;

he cleared the path, but the grass has regrown.

The lofty golden temple opens eyes wide,

bright and clear at the river’s edge.

(Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译)
