On Meeting a Messenger Going to the Capital
Cen Shen
I look eastward, long, long my homeward way appears;
My old arms tremble and my sleeves are wet with tears.
Meeting you on horseback, with what brush can I write?
I can but ask you to tell my kin I’m all right.
The quatrain is a short message the poet asks the messenger to send home.
《逢入京使》是唐代诗人岑参的诗作。此诗描写了诗人远涉边塞，路逢回京使者，托带平安口信，以安慰悬望的家人的典型场面，具有浓烈的人情味。全诗语言朴实，不加雕琢，却包含着两大情怀：思乡之情与渴望功名之情，一亲情一豪情，交织相融，真挚自然，感人至深。
The poem “On Meeting a Messenger Going to the Capital” is a poem by the poet Cen Shen of the Tang Dynasty. The poem depicts a typical scene in which the poet travels far to the border and meets a messenger returning to the capital to bring a message of peace to comfort his family members who are waiting for him. The language of the poem is simple and unadorned, but it contains two major feelings: homesickness and desire for fame and fortune, one of which is intertwined with the other, sincere and natural.
