蘇曼殊詩選 ─ 本事詩
蘇曼殊 ( 1884~1918 )

九年面壁成空相，
持錫歸來悔晤卿；
我本負人今已矣，
任他人作樂中箏。

──選自《蘇曼殊全集》

Selection of Poems by Su Manshu - True Ability
Su Manshu (1884 - 1918)
English translation: Miao Guang and Zhi Yue

After nine years of facing the wall, all becomes void,
Returning, a sistrum staff in hand, I regret meeting you.
A heartless one in the past, but now no longer so,
This time, let others be the zither that is in play.

── from Su Manshu Quanji (Complete Collection by Su Manshu)
