前不見古人 後不見來者
念天地之悠悠 獨愴然而涕下
Ascending Youzhou Tower 江紹倫譯
Great men of history are not seen here
Those to follow are yet to appear
The universe revolves in orderly motion
I stand here in tears feeling uncertain

【登幽州臺歌】 唐·陳子昂
前不見古人， 後不見來者。
念天地之悠悠， 獨愴然而涕下。
A Song: On Ascending the Yuzhou Gate-Tower Chen Ziang
Before me, where have all the sages of yore gone?
Behind me, where’re the successors (– tell me, my friend)?
O Heaven and Earth, how boundless and without end!
I’m all alone, down my cheeks tears keep rolling on.
(tr. frank c w yue)
