| Miscellaneous Poem at Qinzhou,XIX |

Du Fu 712-770
The fighting goes on in Fenglin The road to Yuhai is still blocked Signal fires fill the sky with smoke Troops in the fields find only dry wells The wind shakes even the Western Stars The moon turns cold above the Norther Court An old man recalls the Flying Genaral When will they build him an altar |

Dù Fǔ 712-770
Fèng lín gē wèi xī， Yú hǎi lù cháng nán. Hòu huǒ yún fēng jùn， Xuán jūn mù jǐng gān. Fēng lián xī jí dòng， Yuè guò běi tíng hán. Gù lǎo sī Fēijiàng， Héshí yì zhù tán. |

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese. Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press. |
