八十毋勞論廢興 長征接力有來人
導師創業垂千古 儕輩跟隨愧望塵
億萬愚公齊破立 五洲權霸共沉淪
老夫喜作黃昏頌 滿目青山夕照明
《Thoughts at Eighty_1977》Ye Jian Ying
At eighty I need not be concerned with successes and failures

乙酉仲夏五月十七日
《My Fifty-sixth Birthday》Chen Yin Ke
去年病目實已死 My eyes blinded last year a dead man was I
雖號為人與鬼同 Living as man I was in ghostly sight
可笑家人作生日 I laughed when my family held a birthday party for me
宛如設祭奠亡翁 As if an oblate act to enliven an old dead man to be Continue reading
渺渺鐘聲出遠方 依依林影萬鴉藏
一生負氣成今日 四海無人對夕陽
破碎山河迎勝利 殘餘歲月送悽涼
松門松菊何年夢 且認他鄉作故鄉
[寒家有先人之敝廬二,一曰崝廬,一曰松門別墅]
《Remembering My Old Houses _1945》 Chen Yin Ke
The toll of bells heard faintly from a distance Continue reading
祭十二郎文 (韓愈)
雖然,我自今年來,蒼蒼者欲化而為白矣,動搖者欲脫而落矣,毛血日益衰,誌氣日益微,幾何不從汝而死也!死而有知,其幾何離;其無知,悲不幾時,而不悲者無窮期矣。
雖然如此,今年以來,我花白嘅頭髮有的變成全白了,鬆動嘅牙好似想甩咁。體質一日衰過一日,精神一日差過一日。或者唔使幾耐,我會跟埋你去咯!如果人死後有知覺,我地分離嘅日子唔會太耐;如果死後冇知覺,咁我都唔會悲傷到好長時候,不知悲傷嘅日子,反而係無窮無盡。 Continue reading
五更風雨夢如飛 煙水蒼茫夜色微
話到海山無聲淚 寫來筆墨不沾衣
高情消盡千秋怨 碧血凝成萬古詩
默向長天尋新路 霞光芳霧映春暉
【用毛主席《答友人》七律原韵一九六五年
九嶷山上白云飞 帝子乘风下翠微 斑竹一枝千滴泪 红霞万朵百重衣
洞庭波涌连天雪 长岛人歌动地诗 我欲因之梦寥廓 芙蓉国里尽朝晖】
《A Dream Remembered》Deng Tuo
(This poem of 1966 is the last by Deng Tuo, before he killed himself so his wife and children might be safe.) Continue reading
《一嵐清玩》鄧拓 (1912-1966)
(周懷民畫松山雲海圖紈扇嶒丁一嵐,鄧拓在扇背題此詩,並寫“一嵐清玩”,署名“雲特”。)
《To My Wife Yi Lan》Deng Tuo
茫茫山海雲深處 Deep amid clouds overlooking hills and rills wide
鬱郁松峰夕陽紅 Pine tips serene remain crimson till sunset time
望斷飛鴻天外影 I look for shadows of wild geese beyond the sky
花魂詩思伴西東 Floral souls and poetic thoughts stay by my side
戰地青衫侶 In cotton clothes we are a couple in battling lands
風沙北國春 Spring winds whirl up sands in northland
白雲浮終古 White clouds float as always been
江水去長東 The eastward river flows like ever since
身世三生劫 We had endured cosmic tests in three incarnates
心天一向紅 Our hearts remain red like sunshine immaculate
高情為爾我 We share life with the same lofty goals
天地自無窮 Together we will go forward till time eternal
《戰地歌四拍 (二)》 《Four Beats of a Battlefield Song (2)》
青絲依樣似舊時 My hair still black like yore
鎮日書空 Here no books days pass one and all
孤懷無寄 My heart lonely deplete of wishes Continue reading
《秋興八首__其一》杜甫
玉露凋傷楓樹林 巫山巫峽氣蕭森
江間波浪兼天湧 塞上風雲接地陰
叢菊兩開他日淚 孤舟一系故園心
寒衣處處催刀尺 白帝城高急暮砧
《Eight Autumn-Songs #1》Du Fu
The red maple grove stands subdue when white dews arrive Continue reading
