Shijing II. 8. (228)
In the low, wet grounds, the mulberry trees are beautiful,
And their leaves are luxuriant.
When I see the princely men,
How great is the pleasure !
In the low, wet grounds, the mulberry trees are beautiful,
And their leaves are glossy.
When I see the princely men,
How can I be other than glad ?
In the low, wet grounds, the mulberry trees are beautiful,
And their leaves are dark.
When I see the princely men,
Their virtuous fame draws them close [to my heart].
In my heart I love them,
And why should I not say so ?
In the core of my heart I keep them,
And never will forget them.
Legge 228
Les mûriers du val, quelle force !
leur feuillage, quelle beauté !
Sitôt que je vois mon seigneur,
ma joie, quelle n'est-elle pas !
Les mûriers du val, quelle force !
leur feuillage, quelle douceur !
Sitôt que je vois mon seigneur,
allons ! quelle n'est pas ma joie !
Les mûriers du val, quelle force !
leur feuillage, quel vert profond !
Sitôt que je vois mon seigneur,
son prestige, qu'il agit fort !
Celui donc que dans mon cœur j'aime,
est-il trop loin pour y songer ?
Lui, que du fond du cœur j'estime,
lui, quand pourrais-je l'oublier ?
Granet III.
