I'd like to share the following gem of poetry with you. It's from a not too=
=3D=0D
well-known T'ang poet, and masterly translated by G. Debon (an=20
emeritus German sinologist). My own (awkward!) Lojban version is added, and=
=3D=0D
I wonder if it is able to give a faint idea of the original's=20
contents. (Your comments are highly appreciated!)
BTW, my wife was asking me, why the Lojban version had to be that verbose (=
=3D=0D
I agree - it should at least be the size of the German=20
translation.)

Heimweg

Ueber die Berge verschlagen,
haben Briefe mich nimmer erreicht.
Winter und Fruehling hab ich ertragen.
Nun, da die Heimat in Sicht,
wird es mir bang;
Ich wage nicht,
die mir begegnen, zu fragen.

tr. Prof. G. Debon
