許其正：火焰山前

一再地用力頓足踹地

我仍然不住懷疑我腳踏的是實地

是否我仍在霧濛濛的西遊記裡

跟隨孫行者雲遊四方？

當證實牛魔王和鐵扇公主是子虛

我才恍然小說作家的驚人想像

In Front of Flame Mountain Hsu ChiCheng

Stepping heavily on the ground with all my strength

I wondered if the spot I stood on was a real land

As if I was roaming from place to place

With the Monkey King in Pilgrimage to the west

When the Bull Fiend and the Iron-fan Princess were confined no-existent

I suddenly saw the light of the Novelist’s wonderful imagination@
