Analysis of Victoria Harbor In The Rain
Victoria Harbor in the Rain
By William He
Continuous downpour of torrential rain,
Untethered tides of Stonecutters Island,
There are currents cascade down next to the curb.
The islands have spread a pall of gloom,
Overcasting weather turning ferocious,
Unleashing itself from the chains of thick clouds.
Sprinkles are dazzling with colorful lights.
The sky appears omnipotent with earth,
In the meek surrender once in a while.
Successive ages roll the interval,
A sound which shakes the bellowing waves and rocks.
In the misty lone land by the grey Victoria Bay.
The slow motion connects us with heaven,
To Tennyson's statue carved in stone.
In the reflections weary and frail,
Pebbles sink individuals woes deep,
Water which rain sheds will get us thoroughly wet.
The wattle-made thistles to some rivulet blue.
Night approaches and leaves again at night,
Mountains of torment settle in the chest.
Drowned enigma of yore dream does not illumine,
Touching sublime in timeless time.
望海潮 雨中维多利亚港
作者:何威廉
湍波溟渤,
昂洲横亘,
香炉攒落天流。
离岛雾岑,
层空下载,
浅礁光影跳投。
触处珥丝游。
雨点如旋沫,
欲语还休。
海峤沧凉,
忽见千尺涌潮头。
湾环相对通幽。
慢镜头逆转,
蚀洞灵湫。
烟屿杳蒙,
分流混沌,
漏天谁补氐惆。
湿地色尘留。
万状安可度,
凝霭虹楼。
水国淹缠岁月,
见一缕青浮。
