（古詩英譯）論詩三十首（十）金 – 元好問

論詩三十首（十）金 – 元好問

 

排比铺张特一途，藩篱如此亦区区。

少陵自有连城璧，争奈微之识碔砆。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

Parallelism is but a pompous show,

Such walled pomp simply usurps the thoughts’ flow.

Though Du Fu’s poesy is a priceless gem,

Alas, Yuan Zhen’s praise lent it little glow.
