题西林壁 【宋】蘇軾

橫看成嶺側成峰，
遠近高低各不同。
不識廬山真面目，
只緣身在此山中。



Su Shi (蘇軾, also known as Su Dong Po (1037 – 1101) was a Chinese writer, poet, painter, calligrapher, pharmacologist, gastronome, and a statesman of the Song Dynasty (960–1279). A major personality of the Song era, Su Shi was famed as an essayist, and his prose writings lucidly contribute to the understanding of topics such as 11th-century Chinese travel literature or detailed information on the contemporary Chinese iron industry.

His poetry has a long history of popularity and influence in China, Japan, and other areas in the near vicinity; and, his poetry is well known in the English speaking parts of the world through the translations by Arthur Waley, among others.  Wikipedia: Su Shi
