| Summary | "Chinese Poems" by Charles Budd is a collection of translations of various Chinese poems, crafted during the early 20th century. The book aims to present the beauty and depth of Chinese poetic tradition, making it accessible to readers unfamiliar with the original language. Through Budd's translations, readers can explore themes of nature, love, and human experience portrayed in the poems across different historical periods. The opening of this collection reveals Budd's personal journey into the world of Chinese poetry, sparked by a moment of inspiration that led him to translate a selection of works. In his preface, Budd highlights the rich history of Chinese poetry from ancient texts such as the "Shi-King" to the famous poets of the Tang Dynasty and beyond. He acknowledges the complexity of translating poetry, aiming not only to convey the surface meaning but to capture the emotional landscapes of the original works. Budd's thoughtful approach lays the groundwork for a collection that invites readers to reflect on the timeless nature of human feelings and the beauty of the written word.
