（漢詩英譯）庭前煙樹為雪所壓 – 葉嘉瑩先生

庭前煙樹為雪所壓 – 葉嘉瑩先生

 

一竿擊碎萬瓊瑤，色相何當似此消。

便覺禪機來樹底，任它拂麵雪霜飄。

 

Snow-laded Tree in Forecourt by Chiaying Yeh

 

A pole strikes down and shatters jade-like snow,

All pure forms vanished beneath such a blow.

Right under the tree, I hear Zen whisper,

Not heeding snow on my cheeks high or low.
