擱筆亭

昔人已乘黃鶴去

此地空餘黃鶴樓

黃鶴一去不復返

白雲千載空悠悠

晴川歷歷漢陽樹

芳草萋萋鸚鵡洲

日暮鄉關何處是

煙波江上使人愁

              —崔顥『黃鶴樓』

相傳李白登臨黃鶴樓，詩興大發，正欲題詩，見崔顥詩於壁上，乃擱筆，並有「眼

前有景道不得，崔顥題詩在上頭」之說。

一定

有更清醒的理由

乃為了留下空白

讓野心勃勃的後來者

AT THE PAVILION WHERE LI PO LAID DOWN HIS PEN

Li Po, who was seldom seen sober in public, once mounted the pavilion

on the shore of Yellow River in Wuhan, China.  As he was about to write

a poem on the wall for the occasion, he saw a poem written by Cui Hao, a

contemporary poet.  He was so intimidated by the superb poem,

it’s said that he laid down his pen with a sigh.

I don’t believe he laid down his pen

just to show his humility

there must be more

sober reasons

like, leaving space

for some ambitious future poets

to scribble on
