Description:Excerpt from Gems of Chinese Verse: Translated Into English Verse It is not without diffidence that I bring before the public this little collection of verses. A translation can never equal the original any closer than paste can imitate the real gem: and this is particularly true of poetry, wherein the cream and essence of a language finds its highest and most ethereal expression. The flower we can draw; to its coloring art can approach: but who can delineate its scent? And thus it is with these translations. I have usually followed closely the original form of the poems, frequently keeping their meter, but fear that I have lost much of their nuances and fragile delicacy. But, indeed, the subject is a difficult one; and I shall be repaid for the labor if the average foreign resident in China can glean from my siftings some further insight into the heart and feelings of the Chinese: if Chinese feel that their masterpieces, even in copies, find interest amongst their neighbors from far countries. Sympathy is the bond of human union. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
