But wind and dust from sea to sea bar me from my brothers;
And I cannot help crying, I am so far away.
I have nothing to expect now but the ills of old age.
I am of less use to my country than a grain of dust.
I ride out to the edge of town. I watch on the horizon,
Day after day, the chaos of the world.

七言律诗
杜甫
闻官军收河南河北
剑外忽传收蓟北, 初闻涕泪满衣裳。
却看妻子愁何在? 漫卷诗书喜欲狂。
白日放歌须纵酒, 青春作伴好还乡。
即从巴峡穿巫峡, 便下襄阳向洛阳。

BOTH SIDES OF THE YELLOW RIVER
RECAPTURED BY THE IMPERIAL ARMY
News at this far western station! The north has been recaptured!
At first I cannot check the tears from pouring on my coat --
Where is my wife? Where are my sons?
Yet crazily sure of finding them, I pack my books and poems- -
And loud my song and deep my drink
On the green spring-day that starts me home,
Back from this mountain, past another mountain,
Up from the south, north again-to my own town!

七言律诗
杜甫
登高
风急天高猿啸哀, 渚清沙白鸟飞回。
无边落木萧萧下, 不尽长江滚滚来。
万里悲秋常作客, 百年多病独登台。
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓, 潦倒新停浊酒杯。

A LONG CLIMB
In a sharp gale from the wide sky apes are whimpering,
Birds are flying homeward over the clear lake and white sand,
Leaves are dropping down like the spray of a waterfall,
