早安,杭州 爱上杭州的100个理由【Needle Pagoda保俶塔#】
“Heaven above, Hangchow below”
The ancient says, and they should know.
They left a pagoda standing there,
Like a needle piercing the upper air.
And it joins Hangchow by its magic power,
The moon and the stars and sunsets.
才疑苏杭胜碧落,
方知古人不欺吾。
当峰一塔连天地,
钱王遗剑刺苍穹。
借来盘古洪荒力,
明月星斗落金乌。
——Hangchow,25 July 1925,Benjamin March(马尔智)诗,
慢旅梵七七 译
