<p class="p1">With now two translations of "春望" posted on the list, I think we are experiencing a mini poetry translation slam. Any other takers?--Kirk</p>
<p>A Glimpse of Spring<br />
variation on a poem by Du Fu (712-770)</p>
<p>States come and go; mountains and rivers persist.<br />
The city in springtime: greenery and foliage proliferate.<br />
For the times that are in it, flowers drip tears.<br />
At the thought of parting, birds panic.<br />
Warning beacons alight for three solid months.<br />
A letter from home would stave off ruin.<br />
White hair just about torn to the roots.<br />
Hardly enough left to hold a hatpin in.</p>
