《人间词话》英译（八十六）

《半塘丁稿》中和冯正中《鹊踏枝》十阕，乃《鹜翁词》之最精者。“望远愁多休纵目”等阕，郁伊惝恍，令人不能为怀。《定稿》只存六阕，殊为未允也。

The ten poems which Wang P’eng-yun wrote following the rhymes of Feng Yen-ssu’s tz’u to the tune of ‘Ch’iao t’a chih’ are among the most exquisite in his Pan-t’ang ting-kao.’ Pieces such as the one which begins, ‘When to gaze afar brings so much pain, better not to let the eye wander,’ are melancholy and disturbing to the point of being almost unbearable for the reader. It is really inexcusable that the final published edition included only six of the ten poems.
