《早秋》 許渾 (791-858)
遙夜泛清瑟 西風生翠蘿
殘螢棲玉露 早雁拂金河
高樹曉還密 遠山晴更多
淮南一葉下 自覺洞庭波
《Early Autumn》 Xu Hun
The serene zither music hovers all night
The west winds stand green vines high
Fading fireflies rest on jade-like dews
Early wild geese bring the Milky Way in view
At dawn tall thick trees loom bright
Distant hills project plenty of sunshine
To see a single leaf fall south of the River Huai
I feel autumn is here waves in DongtingLake high Continue reading
冰簟銀床夢不成 碧天如水夜雲輕
雁聲遠過瀟湘去 十二樓中月自明
《Laments》 Wen Tingyun
No dream the cool night keeps my silvery bed in chill
In the green sky I see light clouds appearing like silk
Calls of passing geese are heard beyond the distant river
Washed by moonlight my room remains in the tall tower
《夜月》劉方平（唐朝詩人, 758年前后在世; 生卒年不詳）
更深月色半人家 北斗闌幹南斗斜
今夜偏知春氣暖 蟲聲新透綠窗紗
《A Moonlit Night》 Liu Fangping (tr. SL Kong)
The moon keeps half my room bright deep at night
The Plough invites the South Star to appear in dim light
To-night I feel the warmth of a new spring
Through my window shutters insects are singing Continue reading
風能使大樹折腰
叫野草狂舞
雨能注滿溪河
叫海潮盈湧
我心想螢火蟲
整日在草叢儲蓄能源
準備為黑夜點燈
叫老人和小孩見了
歡欣恬怡
Jaroslov Seifert (1901-1986) 雅羅斯拉夫‧塞弗特 
Nobel Laureate, 1984, for he “provides a liberating image of the indomitable spirit and versatility of man ….
He conjures up another world than that of tyranny and desolation – a world that exists both here and now ….
One that exists in our dreams and our will and our art.”
Two Poems of Herman Hesse (1877-1962)
Nobel laureate 1946 “for his inspired writings, which, while growing in boldness and penetration, exemplify the classical humanitarian ideals and high qualities of style.”

Two Untitled Poems Lu Xun
【一】
大江日夜向东流 聚义群雄又远游
六代绮罗成旧梦 石头城上月如钩
The Great Yangtze flows east day and night
Daring youngsters gather to go abroad for insight
The spirit of the Six Dynasty alive not in dreams
O’er this Rock City the crescent moon shines not dim Continue reading
《新年作》劉長卿(709-780)《Written on New Year’s Day》 Liu Changqing
鄉心新歲切 Approaching New Year’s Day my homesickness grows
天畔獨潸然 Tears are usual in this distant land as time unfolds
老至居人下 In old age I regret being under the commands of generals
春歸在客先 Spring recurs to my chance of going home remains unsettled
嶺猿同旦暮 How I loathe spending my days with only monkeys in sight
江柳共風煙 Amid winds and mists my only friends are willows at riverside
已似長沙傅 Captive like the prince’s teacher in the Capital
從今又幾年 How long will I be bound to this place how old
澹澹長江水 Quietly quietly the Yangtze flows
悠悠遠客情 Lingering parting grief grows
落花相與恨 Falling petals joining in sympathy
到地一無聲 Touching the ground mute to show empathy
