皮日休·《蔷薇》英译

浓似猩猩初染素，轻如燕燕欲凌空。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

可怜细丽难胜日，照得深红作浅红。

A Rose

Pi Rixiu

Of a rich scarlet colour, like silk newly-dyed,

It is as light as a swallow making to fly.

Its delicacy cannot withstand the sun,

Which turns its redness from dark to light.
