Poem 1 : Petra Sváková

天高日月明이요

地厚草木生이라.

月出天開眼이요

山高地擧頭라.

The sky is high and the sun and the moon are bright,

the earth is thick and the plants and the trees are born [from it].

The moon comes out, the sky opens its eye,

the mountains are high, the earth raises its head.

• Discussion Questions:

+(YO) There is no "stars" in the first line; In the second line, it could also be "...live [on it]," couldn't it?

+(YO) For lines 3 and 4, would it be better if we make it something like: "The moon comes out; the sky opens its eye"? (Without the connecting "and".)

Poem 4 : Jelena Gledić

Sun and moon, the mirrors of the ages^[1],
Rivers and mountains, the folding screens of the eons^[2].
East and West, the gates of the sun and moon,
South and North, the paths of migratory birds^[3].

• Discussion Questions:

+ How can the representations of earthly (rivers and mountains) and heavenly (sun and moon) phenomena given in the first two lines be interpreted through the following angles:
a) the use of different words to denote long time periods, one seemingly longer than the other?
b) the use of two different verbs, one indicating a reflected image and one a painting or a backdrop?

+ Based on the example given in the last line, please discuss the different options for translating culturally specific synecdoches and the pros and cons of each possible solution.

1. ↑ Literally, thousands of years (千年)
2. ↑ Literally, immeasurable antiquity (萬古)
3. ↑ The term used literally denotes the swan goose (鴻雁, lat. Anser cygnoides), but here it is a synecdoche common in literature written in Classic Chinese indicating all migratory birds.
