On Wujiang Pavilion by Du Mu

On Wujiang Pavilion
by Du Mu

The outcome of war is beyond prediction,
It takes a man to handle humiliations.
There was an abundance of elites east of the river,
A comeback wasn't impossible had they started it all over.

(Translated by Mario Li, 2007-03-12)

《题乌江亭》
【唐】杜牧

胜败兵家事不期,
包羞忍耻是男儿。
江东子弟多才俊,
卷土重来未可知。
