薛濤·《馬離廄》
雪耳紅毛淺碧蹄,追風(fēng)曾到日東西。
為驚玉貌郎君墜,不得華軒更一嘶。
A Horse Separated from the Stable
Xue Tao
Ears like snow, a russet coat,
pale sapphire hooves,
This wind-chaser tracked the sun
horizon to horizon.
It reared and threw the gentleman
whose face was white as jade,
And never will it neigh again,
drawing the splendid coach.
