Selv uden Mandens Navn og hvert Hentydnings-Stof,
Jeg skulde næsten troe, man seer til hvem jeg sigter.
— Gid hver en Digter var saameget Philosoph,
Som denne Philosoph har viist, at han er Digter.
When men at candidacy don't connive,
From that suspicion if their friends would free 'em,
The teeth and nails with which they did not strive
Should be exhibited in a museum.
Face of the spring moon--
about twelve years old,
I'd say.
Translated by Robert Hass
Oh, there once was a lady, and so I've been told,
Whose lover grew weary, whose lover grew cold.
"My child," he remarked, "though our episode ends,
In the manner of men, I suggest we be friends."
And the truest of friends ever after they were-
Oh, they lied in their teeth when they told me of her!
A night like opium
when the moonlight moans through the water,
that's how your eyes
brim over my face.
[Translated by Ranjit Hoskote]
As you are Young, if you'l be also Wise,
Danger with Honour court, Quarrels despise;
Believe you then are truly Brave and Bold,
To Beauty when no Slave, and less to Gold;
When Vertue you dare own, not think it odd,
Or ungenteel to say, I fear a God.
Winter and Cold,
The time of snow.
Who will be the withered plum's companion?
A fisherman's skiff
if someone told you to jump out the window you
wouldnt do it not because you thought it was
stupid but simply because you learn befor that
if you do your gonna hurt yourself or die so all im saying is try new
things because a little experince goes a long way
Tanadu bhratalella danambu cheyaga
danaku phalamatanchu minukaradu
tanaku kalugoya tana tammudedchuna
viswadhabhirama vinura vema
Some men break your heart in two,
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.
