TU FUOV PAPAGAJ
Dimitar Anakiev
Devet vekova putovao je Tu Fu od Kine do Japana,
Da bi ga čitao Bašo – ali već Bašoovi sledbenici vojnici
Zaboraviše u pohlepi Kineski genij – njih je učio Zapad.
Ne izvine li se pokorno, čeka ih sudbuna Tu Fuovog papagaja.
DU FU's PARROT
Dimitar Anakiev
Du Fu has traveled nine centuries from China to Japan
For Basho to read him – but Basho's followers, soldeirs, already
Fortgot, in greed, the Chinese genius – they were taught by the West
If they do not apologise humbly, the destiny of Du Fu's parrot awaits them.
