Issue 2 - Under a Hong Kong Moon—Chronicles of the Unseen

Bian Zhilin
trans. Lai Yiqi

You stand on the bridge admiring the scenery,
he appreciating the scenery stares at you from a window.
The bright moon adorns your window,
and you adorn a stranger’s dream.

 

斷章
卞之琳 著

你站在橋上看風景,
看風景的人在樓上看你。
明月裝飾了你的窗子,
你裝飾了別人的夢。
