Mourning Elegy (3)
Description
Xuan Yu hopes that you can recite the mourning elegy for the souls of the fallen together with him.
He speaks the first half of the couplet - 'How dare we judge another's good or evil?', and you continue with the second half - 'To understand what was and is - that is enough for me.'
The work is called 'Elegy for the Talented Sons' (Lou Yao (1137-1213), Southern Song Dynasty) and reads in full:
Why would anyone need posthumous glory?
People perish - again melancholy rules the heart.
The coffin lid is closed, sorrowful is my dream,
I shall offer a sword as gift and bow low.
How dare we judge another's good or evil?
To understand what was and is - that is enough for me.
Years of grief - the feeling carved as if by inheritance,
A cypress forest has risen by the neighboring graves.
