Green Head Ducks "The Taj Mahal"

何威廉

This you used to know, lord of India, Shah Jehan:
life and youth, wealth and honor, floating in the current of time.
Only then inner painlives long- let it be.
Was this the path along which empire led ?
Power of a king, harsh thunderbolt
like evening's bloody passion; let it be absorbed at the feet of lassitude.
Only a deep sighswells eternally; let the sky be merciful:
this was the hope in your heart.
Built of gems, diamonds and pearls
like the magic shimmering of rainbows in empty horizons
let it be hidden.
Only let this one tear-drop
glisten pure upon the cheek of time,
this Taj Mahal.

――Rabindranath Tagoro

七律·泰姬陵
作者：饶宗颐
雄心剩欲寄温柔，倾国生来有底愁。
竟逐名花憔悴损，玉钩残梦冷于秋。
名陵风月异朝昏，眉妩遥山带泪痕。
莫道霸图今已矣，御街坠叶为招魂。

印度洋机中作
作者：饶宗颐
色相空中许我参，试将金翅与图南。
日灯禅炬堪回向，坐觉秋云起夕岚。

英国上议院托斯科特勋爵点评拙作《多丽•泰姬陵》英文本：
何先生：一首美妙的诗篇诞生了。泰姬陵不仅是世界建筑的明珠和奇迹，而且也是这个地球上最伟大的爱情象征。我清楚地记得，戴安娜王妃曾经独自一人坐在泰姬陵前，为她自已的落寞和不幸婚姻而伤感。
......
最诚挚的，
托斯科特勋爵

William Shakespeare speaks about the eternity of love, which is best embodied and concretized by the Taj Mahal in India. A wonder of wonders in the world, the Taj Mahal is a living edifice of human passion, which neither History dares to bury in its grave nor does Time dare to forget......

Whenever the moon glimpses,
The queen in a light oozed scroll,
Turns into virginal bride in cypress  ...

The queen in a light oozed scroll.......

何威廉

To a crescendo of sighs and moans,
The sage of love takes his leave......
