نظرة في البرية (西山白雪三奇戍) / Gazing into the Wilds (White Snow on Western Mountains, Three Garrisons of Qi)

**Wild View**

Du Fu

West Mountain's white snow, the three frontier garrisons of Qi,

South Stream's clear river, the Bridge of Ten Thousand Li.

Across the land, wind and dust — my brothers are scattered;

At the edge of heaven, tears and grief — this lone body, far away.

In my fading years I can only offer up this many-sicknessed frame;

Not a drop of dust have I contributed to repay the sacred court.

I ride my horse out to the suburbs and gaze as far as sight allows —

How I cannot bear it: the affairs of men grow ever more desolate.
