英訳
From the Isle of P'eng far away a gift of cinnabar.
Accompanying the spreading clouds, a rolling red mist appears.
Lodging here, year after year, never going back.
Inside Hibiscus City myriads of blossoms.
Line
one:
A reference to the mythical island of P'eng-lai 蓬莱, a fairyland of great
beauty, said to exist in the Eastern Sea and reputedly inhabited by immortals
living for the pursuit of pleasure. Its flowers supposedly possessed
an especially fine perfume. Cinnabar (mercuric sulphide), occurring in the
form of deep-red crystals, was an important ingredient in elixirs concocted
by Taoist alchemists in their search for a medicine that could prolong life
and confer immortality. The blossoms are being likened to cinnabar because
of their similarity in color. For further details, see the notes to SBK 69,
below.
Line
two:
Rolling red mist is probably a metaphor for "clouds" of cherry petals.
Line
three:
The flowers are never going back to P'eng-lai, their supposed place of origin.
Line
four: "Hibiscus
City," 芙蓉城 (Ch. Fu-yung ch'eng), was the name of an imaginary place where
immortals were said to dwell. Here, it is surely a fanciful reference to
the Heian capital. The poet is not in fact describing hibiscus blossoms but
rather the flowers of the cherry or plum tree.
