Quotes
一样是月明,一样是隔山灯火,满天的星只使人不见,梦似的挂起。
The moon is still bright;The lights below the hills are still on;The sky is still full of starsHanging like dreams.
"Do Not Throw Away" (《别丢掉》), translated by Michelle Yeh in A Chorus for Peace: A Global Anthology of Poetry by Women (University of Iowa Press, 2002), p. 41
Variant translation:
The moon is still so bright;Beyond the hills the lamp sheds the same light.The sky besprinkled with star on star,But I do not know where you are.It seemsYou hang above like dreams.
Xu Yuanchong, Vanished Springs: The Life and Love of a Chinese Intellectual (Vantage Press, 1999), pp. 44–45
