刘慎虚·《阙题》英译

道由白云尽，春与青溪长。

时有落花至，远闻流水香。

闲门向山路，深柳读书堂。

幽映每白日，清辉照衣裳。

The Way I Know

Liu Shen-xu

The way I know. Beyond the clouds it lies, following the trail of spring along a sparkling stream, an endless stream of drifting flowers that carry the sweetness of the mountains to the outer world.

The way I know. To a door seldom sought, a quiet courtyard graced with willows, a scholar’s retreat screened from the sun’s fiery glare. Here life is toned down, soft as the filtered light that silvers my robes.
