李白: 水如一匹練， 此地即平天。The water's like a roll of silk so white; Level Sky Lake with level sky aligns.

《秋浦歌》其十二  唐 • 李白 

水如一匹練，
此地即平天。
耐可乘明月，
看花上酒船。


 QUI PU GE: "THE SONG OF QUIPU" 
('Autumn River Bank') No. 12 
-- Li Bai (701-762) 
-- Translated by Frank C Yue 


The water's like a roll of silk so white;
Level Sky Lake with level sky aligns.
O How I would ride the full Moon in flight,
Admire flowers aboard a boat full of wine!
