屈原 《楚辭·離騷》
靈氛既告余以吉占兮,歷吉日乎吾將行。折瓊枝以為羞兮,精瓊爢以為粻。
為余駕飛龍兮,雜瑤象以為車(chē)。何離心之可同兮?吾將遠(yuǎn)逝以自疏。
邅吾道夫昆侖兮,路修遠(yuǎn)以周流。揚(yáng)云霓之晻藹兮,鳴玉鸞之啾啾。
朝發(fā)軔於天津兮,夕余至乎西極。鳳皇翼其承旗兮,高翱翔之翼翼。
忽吾行此流沙兮,遵赤水而容與。麾蛟龍使梁津兮,詔西皇使涉予。
路修遠(yuǎn)以多艱兮,騰眾車(chē)使徑待。路不周以左轉(zhuǎn)兮,指西海以為期。
屯余車(chē)其千乘兮,齊玉轪而并馳。駕八龍之婉婉兮,載云旗之委蛇。
抑志而弭節(jié)兮,神高馳之邈邈。奏歌而舞韶兮,聊假日以愉樂(lè)。
陟升皇之赫戲兮,忽臨睨夫舊鄉(xiāng)。仆夫悲余馬懷兮,蜷局顧而不行。

With omens bright the seer revealed the way,
I then appointed an auspicious day.
As victuals rare some jasper twigs I bore,
And some prepared, provision rich to store;
Then winged horses to my chariot brought
My carriage bright with jade and ivory wrought.
How might tow hearts at variance accord?
I roamed till peace be to my mind restored.
The pillar of the earth I stayed beside;
The way was long, and winding far and wide.
In twilight glowed the clouds with wondrous sheen,
And chirping flew the birds of jasper green.
I went at dawn high heaven' s ford to leave;
To earth' s extremity I came at eve.
On phoenix wings the dragon pennons lay;
With plumage bright they flew to lead the way.
I crossed the quicksand with its treach' rous flood,
Beside the burning river, red as blood;
To bridge the stream my dragons huge I bade,
Invoked the emperor of the west to aid.
The way was long, precipitous in view;
I bade my train a different path pursue.
There where the heaven fell we turned a space,
And marked the western sea as meeting-place.
A thousand chariots gathered in my train,
With axles full abreast we drove amain;
Eight horses drew the carriages behind;
The pennons shook like serpents in the wind.
I lowered flags, and from my whip refrained;
My train of towering chariots I restrained.
I sang the odes. I trod a sacred dance,
In revels wild my last hour to enhance.
Ascending where celestial heaven blazed,
On native earth for the last time we gazed;
My slaves were sad, my steeds all neighed in grief,
And, gazing back, the earth they would not leave.
