Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud,

With the monkeys' adieus the riverbanks are loud,
My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away.

Additional quotes by Li Bai

花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。
舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。
月既不解飲，影徒隨我身。
暫伴月將影，行樂須及春。
我歌月徘徊，我舞影零亂。
醒時同交歡，醉後各分散。
永結無情遊，相期邈雲漢。

Here it is night: I stay at the Summit Temple.
Here I can touch the stars with my hand.
I dare not speak aloud in the silence
For fear of disturbing the dwellers of Heaven.

問余何意棲碧山，笑而不答心自閒。
桃花流水窅然去，別有天地非人間。
