（古詩英譯）論詩三十首（十九）金 – 元好問

論詩三十首（十九）金 – 元好問

 

万古幽人在涧阿，百年孤愤竟如何？

无人说与天隨子，春草输赢较几多？

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

Since yore, recluses oft seek a hushed dale to bide,

What of it — such an aged unjust wrath they hide?

Ah, none can enlighten Lu, self-styled Tian Sui-zi —

How oft the rise and fall of vernal grass betide?

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
