This thusday I have introduce something about Xi Murong but after class some of my classmates asked me more about her especially her poems. Thus now I will introduce more about her.What I want to stess is her achievement in the area of poem.Most of her poems are about love and hometown. Her poems can catch the hearts of girls so much that nearly all the young girls have the poem anthology of hers. Now I will translate some of her poems with the help of the Internet to let you know more about her. I will also tell you her which I have talked in the class
A blooming tree
How can I render you rencounter me
At the very moment of my prime time
I have been entreating the Buddha for 500 years for the sake of it
begging the Buddha to bridge us with a worldly tie
Thereby, the Buddha grows me into a tree
Standing beside the footpath you walk along regularly
In the sun
Are ardently but discreetly blooming blossoms
Any of which is the anticipation of my preexistence
When approaching
Do listen earnestly
The vibrating leaves
are my passion for awaiting
When you are ultimately getting by without the slightest attention
Those scattering all over the group
My dear friend
are not petals
But my fading heart.
Youth
All endings have been written
All tears have been on the way
Suddenly the beginning was forgotten
In the past old summer day
No matter how hard I trace my mind
Young you passing like a cloud and wind
Fuzzy seems your smiling face
Slowly fades in eve mount haze
Then I open the book to flyleaf yellow
Only to find the fate binds it so hollow
In tears at the book again and again I look
I have to admit youth is too hasty a book.
Regretless Youth
If you fall in love
when you are young
please - be kind to her
no matter how long or short
you share your hearts
If your feelings
may continue
then every moment
will be peerless perfection
If you must leave
still bid her fond farewell
and be thankful in your heart
for the memories she left you
When you are older
you will realize
at the instant when you suddenly
recall those moments
that
a youth without resentment
is without any regret
just like the aged moon
gracing the hills with
quiet clarity
All above are some of the poems of Xi Murong's
I think you must like her after reading her poems
i know this very famous poet and i think it would be better if you write more about your feelings towards it.
ReplyDeleteGood attempt at translation especially - Youth
ReplyDeleteBut some expressions can be improved upon
E.g. Thereby, the Buddha grows me into a tree - Thereby,the Buddha make me into a tree (?)
