Xian dai Meiguo shi ge. Aigen [Conrad Aiken] ; Yuan Shuipai yi. [ID D29779].
In his introduction Yuan gives a biographical sketch of Emily Dickinson's life, which is most likely the first ever written in Chinese. He writes : "Readers recognize that her poems have the same features as William Blake's : simple and pure, bright and limpid. Some say that her verse lines are as compact and intense as unburned shooting stars." Yuan singled out from his limited resources following five pomes to translate into Chinese :
I never saw a moor, I died for beauty – but was scarce, The mountains – grow unnoticed, A bird, came down the walk, Success is counted sweetest.
