DESCRIPTION:
Thought Images Captured in translation A Customer This lovely book is perfection. Translations by an American man who learned Chinese as a child, the poems are seemingly effortless expressions of poetic thought.As you read the book, you can feel the translator's connection with the subject of the poems-often, beauty in the world. Of course, there are vast differences between English and Chinese. In English the subject is the performer of the action, but in Chinese it more often a topic set off by an observation. Thus " Fish play east of the lilypads, Fish play north of the lilypads".Lovers of Chinese Poetry--get this book
