Farewell, An English Adaptation of a Tang Poem

Farewell
by Catherine Wang Hsu

It is snowing here in Boston
Like cotton flowers floating in the air
Quiet evening with nothing new.

One more drink
To you, my friend

From California go west
Dear old friends are near!




送別
王啟華詩

(昨兒這兒下了六寸的雪,今兒得知老友將回老家,套用王維的詩就做送別)

波城細雨雪花飃,客舍蕭蕭無色新。
勸君更進一杯酒,西出加州多故人。

Also, here is a way for readers to check into Catherine’s work:

“…we are carrying these imperfect eyes and trying to find the perfect vision.” — Catherine Wang Hsu, Poet. An excerpt taken from “Shadows and Light” poetry collection. http://www.lulu.com/content/761783
