My translation of a famous poem (Hamlin Garland?) - April Day

Translation: True Thoughts

Pictures and Photography: Blossoming Flowers and Listening to Zen When the flowers bloom and white clouds float over the green mountains.

The birds chirping, the wind blows, and the bright sunshine shines on the balcony.

Poetry: Dou Shi Sanren

The spring breeze is dreaming, and fortunately there are frogs croaking.

The colors in the poem are empty in the old calendar.

Days of witchery, subtly sweet,

When every hill and tree finds heart,

Those charming days

Exuding a faint fragrance

Every mountain and every tree

is full of vitality

< p> When winter and spring like lovers meet

In the mist of noon and part -

Winter and spring

Like lovers

In the light mist at noon

Together and separated

In the April days.

Nights when the wood frogs faintly peep

Once - twice - and then are still,

On April days

Those nights

The tree frogs chirped softly

Once, twice

Then there was silence

And the woodpeckers' martial voices sweep

Like bugle notes from hill to hill -

Through the pulseless haze

The mighty voice of the woodpecker

Like a bugle

Breaking through the silent fog

Ringing through the mountains

Days when the soil is warm with rain

And through the wood the shy wind steals

Rich with the pine and the poplar smell

Those days

The soil was soaked by rain

and became warm

The shy wind

Sneaking through the forest

Full of fragrance

The fragrance of pine and poplar

And the joyous earth like a dancer reels

Trough april days

There is also a happy land

Like a dancer

Dancing gracefully

Immersed in

In these April days...

About the author:

Hamlin Hannibal Garland (September 14, 1860 ~ March 1940 August 4), American novelist and poet, famous for his short stories and autobiographical "Middle Frontier" series of novels. It has a certain status in the history of American literature.

Garland immigrated westward with his parents in his early years, from Wisconsin to Iowa, and then to Dakota. In 1884, because he did not want to live a turbulent pioneer life, he went to Boston to find another way out. He studied there by himself. He gradually established himself in the literary circles of Boston and Cambridge and accepted the influence of novelist William Dean Howells.

Garland documented the hardships of pioneer life and the economic setbacks and embarrassments of the Great Plains in his short stories, collected in his book The Great Road (1891). One of his best works.

Main works

In 1917, he wrote "The Son of the Central Frontier" in a peaceful state of mind suitable for writing, outlining his life as the son of a pioneer farmer. Family Background and Childhood, which received immediate acclaim upon publication, won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 1921. His sequels "The Daughter of the Middle Frontier" (1921) and "The Pioneer of the Middle Frontier" (1926) were equally successful, as were his final historical and autobiographical novels. His main poems include "Ordinary People" and so on. This poem uses personification to express the author's respect for the mountain.

These mountains can be seen as the embodiment of the pioneers of the American West.
