A moon rising white
Is the beauty of my lovely one.
Ah, the tenderness, the grace!
Heart’s pain consumes me.
A moon rising bright
Is the fairness of my lovely one.
Ah, the gentle softness!
Heart’s pain wounds me.
A moon rising in splendour
Is the beauty of my lovely one.
Ah, the delicate yielding!
Heart’s pain torments me.

Great stuff to start the week with. Thanks for posting it!
I knew you’d like this. You’re as partial to the Chinese as I am.
They cornered the market on the moon, that’s for sure. i’m currently trying my hand at translating two poems about the moon, one by Li Po and one by Li Ho. The cool (and confounding) thing about putting these two together is that in their Traditional Chinese characters, one of the poems uses no fewer than six characters that explicitly contain the moon character (three each in two lines)…while the other, while (to my mind) being all about the moon does not use the character for moon even once…
Those damned Chinese. I admire your efforts. Sent from my iPad

lovely this.
Thanks. I find great peace reading these ancients. It’s so reassuring knowing nothing has really changed in terms of human feelings and behavior.
