Translation

Poem 18: Nadia Arzberger

---

Ploughing fields, burying the spring colors
Drawing water, ladling the moonlight
West pavilion, moon above the river
East chamber, plum flowers in the middle of the snow

• Discussion Questions:

Q1: As discussed in class, should 亭 and 閣 both be translated as pavilion or should one of them be called chamber?
Q2: Also as discussed in class, we put a more positive spin/beautiful spin on burying spring colors and ladling the moonlight but could this also be taken as more negatively? Such as they are destroying by burying the spring colors and when you ladle water, doesn't it disrupts the reflection?
