书评：The Poetry and Prose of Wang Wei, 2 Vols., trans. by Paul Rouzer.
—How’s the translation.
—Straightforward and chaste, unartistic.
—Can you feel the poetry, reading it?
—Yes.
—Is it masterful writing only a talented English-language poet could produce?
—No.
—Do you even care at this point?
—Not a bit. All I want for Christmas is the big picture.
Friends, these two volumes are, for the first time in English, the big picture.
