- Who has brought the flaming imperial anger? - Who has brought the army with drums and with kettle-drums? - Barbarous kings. - A gracious spring, turned to blood-ravenous autumn, - A turmoil of wars-men, spread over the middle kingdom, - Three hundred and sixty thousand, - And sorrow, sorrow like rain. - Sorrow to go, and sorrow, sorrow returning, - Desolate, desolate fields, - And no children of warfare upon them, - No longer the men for offence and defence. - Ah, how shall you know the dreary sorrow at the North Gate, - With Rihoku's name forgotten, - And we guardsmen fed to the tigers. - - _Rihaku._ - - - - - Exile's Letter - - - To So-Kin of Rakuyo, ancient friend, Chancellor of Gen. - Now I remember that you built me a special tavern - By the south side of the bridge at Ten-Shin. - With yellow gold and white jewels, we paid for songs - and laughter - And we were drunk for month on month, forgetting the - kings and princes. - Intelligent men came drifting in from the sea and from - the west border, - And with them, and with you especially - There was nothing at cross purpose, - And they made nothing of sea-crossing or of mountain - crossing, - If only they could be of that fellowship, - And we all spoke out our hearts and minds, and without - regret. - - And then I was sent off to South Wei, - smothered in laurel groves, - And you to the north of Raku-hoku, - Till we had nothing but thoughts and memories in common. - - And then, when separation had come to its worst, - We met, and travelled into Sen-Go, - Through all the thirty-six folds of the turning and - twisting waters, - Into a valley of the thousand bright flowers, - That was the first valley; - And into ten thousand valleys full of voices and - pine-winds. - And with silver harness and reins of gold, - Out come the East of Kan foreman and his company. - And there came also the "True man" of Shi-yo to meet me, - Playing on a jewelled mouth-organ. - In the storied houses of San-Ko they gave us more Sennin - music, - Many instruments, like the sound of young phoenix broods. - The foreman of Kan Chu, drunk, danced - because his long sleeves wouldn't keep still - With that music-playing. - And I, wrapped in brocade, went to sleep with my head on - his lap, - And my spirit so high it was all over the heavens, - And before the end of the day we were scattered like stars, - or rain. - I had to be off to So, far away over the waters, - You back to your river-bridge. - - And your father, who was brave as a leopard, - Was governor in Hei Shu, and put down the barbarian rabble. - And one May he had you send for me, - despite the long distance. - And what with broken wheels and so on, I won't say it wasn't - hard going, - Over roads twisted like sheeps' guts. - And I was still going, late in the year, - in the cutting wind from the North, - And thinking how little you cared for the cost, - and you caring enough to pay it. - And what a reception: - Red jade cups, food well set on a blue jewelled table, - And I was drunk, and had no thought of returning. - And you would walk out with me to the western corner of the - castle, - To the dynastic temple, with water about it clear as blue jade, - With boats floating, and the sound of mouth-organs and drums, - With ripples like dragon-scales, going grass green on the water, - Pleasure lasting, with courtezans, going and coming without - hindrance, - With the willow flakes falling like snow, - And the vermilioned girls getting drunk about sunset, - And the water a hundred feet deep reflecting green eyebrows - --Eyebrows painted green are a fine sight in young moonlight, - Gracefully painted-- - And the girls singing back at each other, - Dancing in transparent brocade, - And the wind lifting the song, and interrupting it, - Tossing it up under the clouds. - And all this comes to an end. - And is not again to be met with. - I went up to the court for examination, - Tried Layu's luck, offered the Choyo song, - And got no promotion, - and went back to the East Mountains - white-headed. - And once again, later, we met at the South bridge-head. - And then the crowd broke up, you went north to San palace, - And if you ask how I regret that parting: - It is like the flowers falling at Spring's end - Confused, whirled in a tangle. - What is the use of talking, and there is no end of talking, - There is no end of things in the heart. - - I call in the boy, - Have him sit on his knees here - To seal this, - And send it a thousand miles, thinking. - - _By Rihaku._ - - - - - The Seafarer - - - (_From the early Anglo-Saxon text_) - - - May I for my own self song's truth reckon, - Journey's jargon, how I in harsh days - Hardship endured oft. - Bitter breast-cares have I abided, - Known on my keel many a care's hold, - And dire sea-surge, and there I oft spent - Narrow nightwatch nigh the ship's head - While she tossed close to cliffs. Coldly afflicted, - My feet were by frost benumbed. - Chill its chains are; chafing sighs - Hew my heart round and hunger begot - Mere-weary mood. Lest man know not - That he on dry land loveliest liveth, - List how I, care-wretched, on ice-cold sea, - Weathered the winter, wretched outcast - Deprived of my kinsmen; - Hung with hard ice-flakes, where hail-scur flew, - There I heard naught save the harsh sea - And ice-cold wave, at whiles the swan cries, - Did for my games the gannet's clamour, - Sea-fowls' loudness was for me laughter, - The mews' singing all my mead-drink. - Storms, on the stone-cliffs beaten, fell on the stern - In icy feathers; full oft the eagle screamed - With spray on his pinion. - - Not any protector - May make merry man faring needy. - This he little believes, who aye in winsome life - Abides 'mid burghers some heavy business, - Wealthy and wine-flushed, how I weary oft - Must bide above brine. - Neareth nightshade, snoweth from north, - Frost froze the land, hail fell on earth then - Corn of the coldest. Nathless there knocketh now - The heart's thought that I on high streams - The salt-wavy tumult traverse alone. - Moaneth alway my mind's lust - That I fare forth, that I afar hence - Seek out a foreign fastness. - For this there's no mood-lofty man over earth's midst, - Not though he be given his good, but will have in his - youth greed; - Nor his deed to the daring, nor his king to the faithful - But shall have his sorrow for sea-fare - Whatever his lord will. - He hath not heart for harping, nor in ring-having - Nor winsomeness to wife, nor world's delight - Nor any whit else save the wave's slash, - Yet longing comes upon him to fare forth on the water. - Bosque taketh blossom, cometh beauty of berries, - Fields to fairness, land fares brisker, - All this admonisheth man eager of mood, - The heart turns to travel so that he then thinks - On flood-ways to be far departing. - Cuckoo calleth with gloomy crying, - He singeth summerward, bodeth sorrow, - The bitter heart's blood. Burgher knows not-- - He the prosperous man--what some perform - Where wandering them widest draweth. - So that but now my heart burst from my breast-lock, - My mood 'mid the mere-flood, - Over the whale's acre, would wander wide. - On earth's shelter cometh oft to me, - Eager and ready, the crying lone-flyer, - Whets for the whale-path the heart irresistibly, - O'er tracks of ocean; seeing that anyhow - My lord deems to me this dead life - On loan and on land, I believe not - That any earth-weal eternal standeth - Save there be somewhat calamitous - That, ere a man's tide go, turn it to twain. - Disease or oldness or sword-hate - Beats out the breath from doom-gripped body. - And for this, every earl whatever, for those speaking after-- - Laud of the living, boasteth some last word, - That he will work ere he pass onward, - Frame on the fair earth 'gainst foes his malice, - Daring ado,... - So that all men shall honour him after - And his laud beyond them remain 'mid the English, - Aye, for ever, a lasting life's-blast, - Delight mid the doughty. - Days little durable, - And all arrogance of earthen riches, - There come now no kings nor Caesars - Nor gold-giving lords like those gone. - Howe'er in mirth most magnified, - Whoe'er lived in life most lordliest, - Drear all this excellence, delights undurable! - Waneth the watch, but the world holdeth. - Tomb hideth trouble. - The blade is laid low. - Earthly glory ageth and seareth. - No man at all going the earth's gait, - But age fares against him, his face paleth, - Grey-haired he groaneth, knows gone companions, - Lordly men are to earth o'ergiven, - Nor may he then the flesh-cover, whose life ceaseth, - Nor eat the sweet nor feel the sorry, - Nor stir hand nor think in mid heart, - And though he strew the grave with gold, - His born brothers, their buried bodies - Be an unlikely treasure hoard. - - - - - - _From Rihaku_ - - - - FOUR POEMS OF DEPARTURE - - - _Light rain is on the light dust._ - _The willows of the inn-yard_ - _Will be going greener and greener,_ - _But you, Sir, had better take wine ere your departure,_ - _For you will have no friends about you_ - _When you come to the gates of Go._ - - - - - Separation on the River Kiang - - - Ko-jin goes west from Ko-kaku-ro, - The smoke-flowers are blurred over the river. - His lone sail blots the far sky. - And now I see only the river, - The long Kiang, reaching heaven. - - - - - Taking Leave of a Friend - - - Blue mountains to the north of the walls, - White river winding about them; - Here we must make separation - And go out through a thousand miles of dead grass. - - Mind like a floating wide cloud. - Sunset like the parting of old acquaintances - Who bow over their clasped hands at a distance. - Our horses neigh to each other - as we are departing. - - - - - Leave-taking near Shoku - - - "_Sanso, King of Shoku, built roads_" - - - They say the roads of Sanso are steep, - Sheer as the mountains. - The walls rise in a man's face, - Clouds grow out of the hill - at his horse's bridle. - Sweet trees are on the paved way of the Shin, - Their trunks burst through the paving, - And freshets are bursting their ice - in the midst of Shoku, a proud city. - - Men's fates are already set, - There is no need of asking diviners. - - - - - The City of Choan - - - The phoenix are at play on their terrace. - The phoenix are gone, the river flows on alone. - Flowers and grass - Cover over the dark path - where lay the dynastic house of the Go. - The bright cloths and bright caps of Shin - Are now the base of old hills. - - The Three Mountains fall through the far heaven, - The isle of White Heron - splits the two streams apart. - Now the high clouds cover the sun - And I can not see Choan afar - And I am sad. - - - - - South-Folk in Cold Country - - - The Dai horse neighs against the bleak wind of Etsu, - The birds of Etsu have no love for En, in the north, - Emotion is born out of habit. - Yesterday we went out of the Wild-Goose gate, - To-day from the Dragon-Pen.[1] - Surprised. Desert turmoil. Sea sun. - Flying snow bewilders the barbarian heaven. - Lice swarm like ants over our accoutrements. - Mind and spirit drive on the feathery banners. - Hard fight gets no reward. - Loyalty is hard to explain. - Who will be sorry for General Rishogu, - the swift moving, - Whose white head is lost for this province? - -[1] I.e., we have been warring from one end of the empire to -the other, now east, now west, on each border. - - - * * * * * - - I have not come to the end of Ernest Fenollosa's notes by a - long way, nor is it entirely perplexity that causes me to - cease from translation. True, I can find little to add to - one line out of a certain poem : - - "You know well where it was that I walked - When you had left me." - - In another I find a perfect speech in a literality which - will be to many most unacceptable. The couplet is as follows: - - "Drawing sword, cut into water, water again flow: - Raise cup, quench sorrow, sorrow again sorry." - - There are also other poems, notably the "Five colour - Screen," in which Professor Fenollosa was, as an art critic, - especially interested, and Rihaku's sort of Ars Poetica, - which might be given with diffidence to an audience of good - will. But if I give them, with the necessary breaks for - explanation, and a tedium of notes, it is quite certain that - the personal hatred in which I am held by many, and the - _invidia_ which is directed against me because I have dared - openly to declare my belief in certain young artists, will - be brought to bear first on the flaws of such translation, - and will then be merged into depreciation of the whole book - of translations. Therefore I give only these unquestionable - poems. - - E.
