This sentence comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's Sleeping in the Mountain Temple, and the original text is as follows:
The tall buildings of the temple on the mountain are really high, like a hundred feet. People upstairs are like a hand that can pick off the stars in the sky.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
Translation:
The high-rise building of the temple on the mountain is really high, it seems to be 100 feet. People upstairs seem to be able to pick off the stars in the sky with one hand.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
