Pressed by the breeze,over water the light clouds fly;
In pecking clods by poolside tower swallows vie.
I feel too weak to wear my gown,ill for so long.
I have not heard the message-bearing wild goose song;
Partridges among bamboos seem to call me home;
Only fallen blooms know the heart of those who roam.
风压轻云贴水飞，乍晴池馆燕争泥。
沈郎多病不胜衣。
沙上不闻鸿雁信，竹间时听鹧鸪啼。
此情惟有落花知！
This poet describes a frangvil scene and his homesickness.
Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
