At Dawn Leaving Jingci Temple, Seeing Off Lin Zifang
杨万里
毕竟西湖六月中
风光不与四时同
接天莲叶无穷碧
映日荷花别样红
bì jìng xī hú liù yuè zhōng
fēng guāng bú yǔ sì shí tóng
jiē tiān lián yè wú qióng bì
yìng rì hé huā bié yàng hóng
After all, West Lake in the sixth month—scenery unlike other seasons. Lotus leaves meet the sky in endless green; sunlit lotus flowers glow a special red.

杨万里《晓出净慈寺送林子方》:接天莲叶——西湖六月的无穷碧,是送别里的壮色,不是软语。送别不必灰:六月莲叶也可以是壮色。今日:告别也可以很亮,不必一律灰色。
Yang Wanli’s dawn send-off at Jingci: lotus leaves joining sky—June West Lake’s endless green as farewell’s strong color, not soft murmur. Today: goodbye can be bright; it needn’t always be gray.
旅行拍照前先记住两句:叶碧花红,比滤镜更永久。
