Frases de Hồ Xuân Hương

Hồ Xuân Hương fue una poetisa vietnamita en chữ nôm nacida al final de la dinastía Lê. Considerada una de las figuras más importantes de la poesía de su país.

Los hechos de su vida son difíciles de esclarecer. Al ser una concubina en una sociedad confucianista, su trabajo le enseñó a ser una mujer de mente independiente que se resistía a las normas sociales a través de sus comentarios políticos y el uso de humor y expresiones que hacían referencia al sexo. Sus poemas son a menudo irreverentes y están llenos de dobles sentidos, pero se consideran eruditos. Su deseo de escribir en nôm en vez de en chino tradicional contribuyó a su prominencia en el siglo XVIII. Wikipedia

Hồ Xuân Hương: Frases en inglés

“Sisters, do you know how it is? On one hand,
the bawling baby; on the other, your husband
sliding onto your stomach,
his little son still howling at your side.
Yet, everything must be put in order,
Rushing around all helter-skelter.
Husband and child, what obligations!
Sisters, do you know how it is?”

the General's tomb standing all alone.
