"Never have I met a beauty like you,
Industrious, independent, intelligent.
No one could outshine you in my view,
Great future's in your hand diligent.
Xenophobia's somewhat exercised here,
Interestingly you and I do not care.
Neither you'll hearken nor I will hear,
Go free and enjoy the poetic air.
Each and every one likes you a lot,
Rejoicing in your poem we've sought. "
Your praise of her is exaggerated,
She's been here over-celebrated.
Some of her chinese poems may be fine,
But her english needs to refine.
While her chinese poems are well hatched,
Her translations of them are badly matched.
You may call her a poetic beauty,
Yet alas! she's only a lame beauty. |
