《雪梅》(其一)- 盧梅坡
梅雪爭春未肯降,
騷人閣筆費評章。
梅須遜雪三分白,
雪卻輸梅一段香。
A Quatrain by Lu Meipo
(Snow and Prunus Mume)
Both snow and mume contend for the symbol of spring,
Deciding who wins, poets feel it’s a tough thing.
Albeit white snow seems whiter than those prunus mume,
Tis mume rather than white snow that can fragrance bring.
Tr. Ziyuzile
