Re: 波斯纪行:大不里士 | May 01 2003- Thank you very much for the detailed comments and suggestion.
Fitzgerald's rubaiyat is always my favorite reading, but it isn't
easy to form epic style.<quatrain> Sometimes I feel Fodowsi's couplet is more appropriete
here. Actually Persian poets all have their own styles. I did 'Paralyzed
Heart' to follow Hafez' lines. Actually Sadi's writing, his Rose-Garden(Gulistan) is
definitely my favorite. I will write a set of poems about Persepolis and
Pasargadae follow Gulistan style.
Bai2Ju1Yi4's epics also follow couplets. But too strict
writing will make the poem short. That's Qi1Lv4.
I am learning from all those masters, it's a great resources of eastern
poetry, another should be in India.
Thanks again for your reply !
