6.250

雙偃松何似,螺文結數遭,清聲雖競發,寒影不相高。
對客圓分蓋,孤禪翠滴袍,若教圖畫得,爭奈有蕭搔。

What do the two leaning pines resemble? / Spiral patterns entwined several times. / Though their pure sounds compete to ring out, / Their cold shadows do not tower over one another. / Facing guests, their canopies roundly divide; / In solitary meditation, their emerald drips upon the robe. / Even if one could capture them in a painting, / What could be done about the whispering wind in their needles?
