Comment:
"So bright a gleam at the foot of my bed,
Could there be a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight,
Sinking back again, I suddenly thoguht of home"
or
"Tracking down its catch, leprosy, cuts the fox and gazelle hungrily, as a woman sells bad morals in Ang Pond Mansion, ..."
In the Quiet Night par Li Bai traduit et re-traduit par Gu Wenda Poem no. 2
In The Quiet Night translated and re-translated by Gu Wenda
