王淇·《梅》英译

不受尘埃半点侵，竹篱茅舍自心甘。

只因误识林和靖，惹得诗人说到今。

The Plums

Wang Qi

With the least bit of dust, I am not stained,

The bamboo fence and thatched cottage are what I have willingly chosen and gained.

Had I not mistakenly made acquaintance with Lin the hermit,

The poets’ animated comments would not have now remained.
