Here is a poem of Xu zhimo translated by my bosom friend captain days ago. Impressed by his neat wording, thorough comprehension, aesthetic feeling and endless aftertaste, I take leave to collect it in my own blog for appreciation at any moment. Hopefully, he won't indict me for pirating his masterpiece.

By Chance

A cloud I am in the welkin namely
Over the wave of your heart my shadow casts casually
no need to take a surprise at any rate.
let alone go and celebrate
In no time I shall evaporate

Dark night found us meeting off the bay,
You and I, on different way
if you remember, no more than better
Yet preferably to be a forgetter
For the kindling we have in encounter

---Captain_of_soul---

偶然

我是天空里的一片云，
偶尔投影在你的波心——
你不必讶异，
更无须欢喜——
在转瞬间消灭了踪影。

你我相逢在黑夜的海上，
你有你的，我有我的，方向　
你记得也好，　
最好你忘掉，
在这交会时互放的光亮！

---徐志摩---

It is my honor to cast my shadow over the wave of your heart casually though it evaporates instantly.

Really appreciate your affluent and amazing articles.

Even a tiny pinch of shadow from you would be enough to surge the wave of my heart. Though you and I, on different way, hardly could I forget the kindling we have in encounter.

Thanks for your eyes on me.

Ironic? Are you sure it's my tone?
