汉译但丁《炼狱》节选

但丁在《炼狱》中比欧洲探险家和航海家早150年提及南十字星：

我的汉译版一：自由体

然后我转向右，将心置
于另一端，我见四颗星
唯先贤得缘曾见。
天堂似陶醉于其焰：
哦 北半球，只因你
视界抵达不了，你只能是鳏夫！


我的汉译版二：四言体

然后右转，心置另端，
见四颗星，前所未见
仅限先贤，得缘曾见。
天堂似乎，陶醉其焰：
北半球地，因你视限
目力不及，是为鳏夫！

Poem by Hui Glennie: Note to A Swallow

Note to A Swallow
by ©H.L.Glennie

Sweet swallow
Build not your nest
Bond to my courtyard tree
For it's in the war zone
A targeted reach
By a crocodile
With it a 64 leveraged horsepower Wheel
From eight directions follows
Where ever my tree leaves rustle

It heard your beautiful songs
You are in a greater danger
When autumn comes, leaves are gone
Your nest would be seen 'n cleared
Only those genetically altered,
Wings chipped 'n beak cut out,
Would in its Mercy be Allowed
While it carries out its mission
Its tears drop masculine sensation
in feminine sounding "sigh" aloud.

So brutal so surreal but so real
As real as Cassandra's prophecy
that no one believes
It will take 999 days' siege
of Leningrad to yield clue
Along it accompanies famine, death, 'n blood cold
So fly away to build a safer nest
in a higher altitude

In wind, keep singing
Trees will rustle; flowers will smile
In rain,your wings draw comfort lining
Your motions carry streams flow
Your music will forever be resounding
Your lyrics will withstand time-tested trial

Born on the ash is a miracle,
Rose － final！
