崔涂： 孤雁/ Cui Tu： A SOLITARY WILDGOOSE

崔涂: 孤雁/ cui tu: a solitary wildgoose
孤雁
崔涂
几行归塞尽， 片影独何之？
暮雨相呼失， 寒塘欲下迟。
渚云低暗渡， 关月冷相随。
未必逢矰缴， 孤飞自可疑。
a solitary wildgoose
cui tu
line after line has flown back over the border.
where are you headed all by yourself?
in the evening rain you call to them --
and slowly you alight on an icy pond.
the low wet clouds move faster than you
along the wall toward the cold moon.
...if they caught you in a net or with a shot,
would it be worse than flying alone?
