（古詩英譯）論詩三十首（十七）金 – 元好問

論詩三十首（十七）金 – 元好問

 

切響浮聲發巧深，研摩雖苦果何心？

浪翁水樂無宮徵，自是雲山韶頀音。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

The tempo of rise and fall in tones seems profound,

Beyond desire for mere sound, what else may be found?

Yuan Jie prefers gurgling to mortal melody —

The ethereal music of Cloud Hills, Nature-crowned.
