‘What sort of man is this holding a staff, gently walking and considering a poem as he goes?’
Japanese painted scrolls often feature poems that complement the image. Artist Suzuki Shōnen has painted himself into this scene and inscribed it with a Chinese-style poem. http://ow.ly/ttOo30j4U8H
It’s #WorldPoetryDay – who’s your favourite poet?
Inscription Transliteration
Meiji hinoe uma kajitsu sha oite Tokinro narabi [ni] dai [su] / Shonen senshiInscription Translation
For ten leagues only the shade of pines./A single valley sings with the voice of waters./What sort of man is this holding a staff/Gently walking and considering a poem as he goes?
Painted and inscribed at the Tokinro [?Studio], a day in summer, 1906, by Shonen

我喜歡當年年輕的譯者。
"旺山兄,
......以前請您帶回歌德的書送彭先生。他已仙逝:我將您講入漢清講堂第209講,請參考。

又,我很想知道,當初您為何選擇William Morris來翻譯? (聯經版 牛津 Past Masters叢書)"
" .....至於William Morris的翻譯,則是我在讀研究所時,一位朋友找我幫忙的。當時,我對這位英國思想家完全無知。
記得當時,為了進一步較具體地瞭解Morris在倫敦的生活與居住狀況,我還寫信給英國的觀光局之類的單位,要了一份倫敦的街道圖。
想起來,當時年輕,知識淺薄而勇氣十足,思之令人汗顏。
