Poetry Again    Hsu ChiCheng

 

Back, oh, back again

That afternoon

At Jizhouan New House

 

Back again, the flying youth

Back again, poems and poetry

Everybody is seen to be beaming

With hearty smiles

People’s flesh may be beaten by time

But only he — a poet

Has defeated time with his lines soft as water

Words keep the poet young of heart

 

Those old men are over seventy

But they are like one after another burning candle

With heat and light

The breath of youth is gained

Poems and poetry are gained

Even young people are touched

Even historical sites are touched

Oh, the rosy clouds of dusk remain brilliant!

Oh, a scene which has not been seen for fifty years!

No wonder

Dusk may be brilliant with the setting sun

Why can’t poetry and youth be regained?

The fire is going to bring potential into full play

Day after day, month after month, year after year …

 

Remark: On the afternoon of January 8, 2011, the opening ceremony of “Youth Society: Taiwan Collegiate Poetry Society Exhibition”, organized by the magazine of Wenhsun hosted by Taipei Municipal Bureau of Culture, is held at Jizhouan New House, Taipei, and a series of activities follow: besides exhibiting materials of various poetry societies in the past, six lectures on poetry are planned: 23:30 pm on January 9 and the following Saturday afternoons, to be delivered by poets who have been active in each then poetry society. Owing to the hit of the lectures, they are prolonged until March 27. The author has been one of the lecturers. “Has defeated time with his line soft as water” is quoted from Who Has Once Defeated the Times, a poem included into his Chinese-English poetry collection entitled Birthmark.    2011/5

 

Poems of the World  Volume 19#1

 

附中文元詩如后:

 

詩意重回   許其正

 

重新回來了,哈,重新回來了

那個下午

在紀州庵新館

 

重新回來了,那些飛揚的青春

重新回來了,那些濃濃的詩意

只見每個人都難以遏抑地

神彩飛揚,滿臉堆笑

見證人的肉體可能被時光打敗

只有他——詩人

用柔軟如水的文字打敗過時光

從心裡讓人年輕不老

 

那些老人是上了從心所欲的年紀了

可是仍然是一支支燃燒的火炬

以其光和熱

招回了青春的氣息

招回了濃濃的詩意

連那些年輕人也被感染了

連那年老的古蹟也被感染了

啊,黃昏的彩霞仍然那麼輝煌!

啊,那原是大約五十年前的光景呀!

沒什麼好奇怪的

黃昏可以有晚霞燦爛

為什麼詩意和青春不能重回?

顯然這火將繼續發揮潛在的巨大力量

日日,月月,年年……
