Again Send Off (Wang Fang): Poem of Four Lines

 

重 送: 绝 句
绝 艺 如 君 天 下 少
闲 人 似 我 世 间 无。                                                                                             别 后 竹 窗 风 雪 夜
一 灯 明 暗 覆 吴 图。
Chong Song: Jue Ju

Jue yi ru jun tian xia shao
Xian ren si wo shi jian wu.                                                                                                      Bie hou zhu chuang feng xue ye
Yi deng ming an fu wu tu.

 

Again Send Off (Wang Fang): Poem of Four Lines

Very few like you have this unique skill down here on earth
People of leisure like me often sow discord with the society.                                After your departure, through my window an evening of wind and snow
Under one lamp, dim or bright, we could write a book of the strategies for weiqi.

 

Notes:

[Two close friend are playing weiqi, a Chinese board game very similar to the western game of chess.]
