論詩三十首(十八)金 – 元好問
東野窮愁死不休,高天厚地一詩囚。
江山萬古潮陽筆,合在元龍百尺樓。
A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)
In want and woe until death, Meng Jiao did converse,
‘Twixt heaven and earth — a prisoner to his verse.
All now gather in the Yuan Long’s mighty tower,
Han Yu’s brush like hills and rills of the universe.
Tr. Ziyuzile
