"Kordian"


Another one of my favorite lines, taken from Polish playwright Juliusz Slowacki's play, Kordian.

The original goes:

Hundred desires within me,
Hundred of thoughts,
Hundred of wilted leaves.

And Jiang's version is:

Thousand desires within me,
Thousand of thoughts,
Thousand of wilted leaves.
