鱼玄机·《访赵炼师不遇》英译

何处同仙侣，青衣独在家。

暖炉留煮药，邻院为煎茶。

画壁灯光暗，幡竿日影斜。

殷勤重回首，墙外数枝花。

Visiting a Master Alchemist, Not Finding Him at Home

Yu Xuanji

Where shall I look

for my spiritual friend?

An acolyte’s at home alone—

the stove is warm,

the herbs still cooking;

a neighbor prepares

some boiled tea.

Dimly lamplight flickers

on the murals of the walls;

from the banner pole

in the setting sun

a shadow leaning falls.

Over and over I look around;

flowers beyond the walls!
