游侠行
Wandering Swordsman
|
壮士性刚决 火中见石裂 杀人不回头 轻生如暂别 |
A strong man of indomitable judgment. But in a fire, even stones will crack. He never repented of the men he'd killed. And he killed himself as if he were coming back. |
|
岂知眼有泪 肯白头上发 半生无恩酬 剑闲一百月 |
Who could have guessed his eyes would fill with tears? He was willing that his hair should all turn white. But for half his life, no one had shown him kindness. And his sword had been idle eight long years. |
-- 孟郊
废话
One of Meng Jiao's walking poems. Something reminded him of an old friend. You meet people on the road. Later, sometimes, you hear how their lives turned out.
