Quotes

• 鹅 鹅 鹅，
  曲 项 向 天 歌。
  白 毛 浮 绿 水，
  红 掌 拨 清 波。
  • Goose, goose, goose,
    You bend your neck towards the sky and sing.
    Your white feathers float on the emerald water,
    Your red feet push the clear waves.
  • "Ode to the Goose" (《咏鹅》)
  • Variant translation:
    • Geese, geese, geese,
      Curl necks and sing.
      White feathers floating on the green,
      They swim with red webbed feet.
      • "On Geese", as translated by YeShell in How To Write Classical Chinese Poems (Lulu Press, 2015)
