卓譯《楚辭》- 無心劍

 

古韵新声出九歌，

楚辞英译荡清波。

东皇太一云台舞，

湘水涟漪梦亦多。

 

A Quatrain by Wu Xinjian

(Extoling English Rendition of Chu-Ci by Professor Zhu)

 

New voice recites the Nine Songs in the rhyme of yore,

Chu-Ci in English like singing stream all adore.

The Sovereign o’ East - Taiyi, dances on cloud nine,

Xiang Ripples deliver Xiang dreams from shore to shore.

A new voice chants the Nine Songs in the rhyme of yore,

Chu-Ci in English, like singing stream, all adore.

The Sovereign o’ East - Taiyi, dances on cloud nine,

Xiang Ripples deliver boundless dreams evermore.
