Palace of heaven....

    Climbing, o  the world behind us,

    iteps we look down on hung from space.

    It overtops a holy land

    And can only  by toil of t.

    Its four sides darken t sun,

    Its seven stories cut the grey clouds;

    Birds fly do,

    And the rapid wind below our hearing;

    Mountain-ranges, to,

    Appear to be curving and flowing like rivers;

    Far green locust-trees line broad roads

    toered palaces and mansions;

    Colours of autumn, out of t,

    Enter advancing ty;

    And northere lie, in five graveyards,

    Calm forever under dewy green grass,

    those who know lifes final meaning

    learn.

    ... my official  aside.

    to find ternal ay is the only happiness.

    元结

    贼退示官吏并序

    癸卯岁，西原贼入道州，焚烧杀掠，几尽而 去。明年，贼又攻永州，破邵，不犯此州边 鄙而退，岂力能制敌欤？盖蒙其伤怜而已！ 诸史何为忍苦徵敛！故作诗一篇以示官吏。

    昔岁逢太平， 山林二十年。

    泉源在庭户， 洞壑当门前。

    井税有常期， 日晏犹得眠。

    忽然遭时变， 数岁亲戎旃。

    今来典斯郡， 山夷又纷然。

    城小贼不屠， 人贫伤可怜。

    是以陷邻境， 此州独见全。

    使臣将王命， 岂不如贼焉？

    令彼徵敛者， 迫之如火煎。

    谁能绝人命？ 以作时世贤。

    思欲委符节， 引竿自刺船，

    将家就鱼麦， 归老江湖边。
