大意：我尽力的张开双眼眺望远方，只见四周白云弥漫看不清楚。鹞鹰和乌鸦都吃得饱饱的臃肿得无法高飞，鸾鸟和凤凰却忍饥挨饿彷徨不定。骏马被放逐在无水无草的戈壁滩，跛脚的毛驴却被牵到高堂委与重任。我想要问问苍天，人间为什么这么多不平事，但苍天高高在上无法追问，只好看着鹪鹩自由自在的飞翔在江海之上。 寒山·《极目兮长望》 极目兮长望，白云四茫茫。 鸱鸦饱腲腇，鸾凤饥彷徨。 骏马放石碛，蹇驴能至堂。 天高不可问，鹪鵊在沧浪。 A Traveler Brings Messages, Waiting While I Read From my heights I stare into an opaque sky; Thick clouds, though white, obscure the lower peaks.

《国风·鄘风·鹑之奔奔》是中国古代第一部诗歌总集《诗经》中的一首诗。古代学者一般认为此诗是谴责、讽刺卫国国君的诗，现代学者一般认为这是写女子责怪男人的诗。全诗二章，每章四句。上下两章前两句完全一样，只是位置发生了改变，造成一种回环与交错的效果。每章后两句，虽然只有一字之差，却避免了反复咏唱时容易引起的单调的感觉。 《国风·鄘风·鹑之奔奔》 鹑之奔奔，鹊之彊彊。 人之无良，我以为兄？ 鹊之彊彊，鹑之奔奔。 人之无良，我以为君？ Shun che pun pun（James Legge 译） Boldly faithful in their pairings are quails; Vigorously so are magpies. This man is all vicious, And I consider him my brother! Vigorously faithful in their pairings are magpies; Boldly so are quails. This woman is all vicious, And I regard her as
