Bamboo Branch Song (1)

Ni Zan 1301-1374 By the East Sea is a crazy man, Who acts disorderly and perverse. Slaps black ink on walls,         brushes on rough silk                    and mulberry paper, Surely this madman is me!

Ní Zàn 1301-1374 Dōnghǎi yǒu bìngfū, Zì yún Miào qiě yū. Shūbì xiě juàn chǔ, Qǐ qí kuáng zhī yú.

Notes: "Translation is both necessary and necessarily flawed. It is necessary because we want a clear rendition of a text from a foreign language. It is necessarily flawed because so much of the original has no equivalent-or only an approximate equivalent-in the language of translation" From Zhaoming Qian's introduction to Ezra Pound and China, U of Michigan Press
