| Programme Note | Ode of Tang There is a solitary russet pear tree, But its leaves are luxuriant Alone I walk unbefriended:- Is it because there are no other people? But none are like the sons of one's father. O you travellers Why do you not sympathise with me? Without brothers as I am? Why do you not help me? There is a solitary russet pear tree, But its leaves are abundant. Alone I walk uncared for;- Is it that there are not other people? But none are like those of one's own surname. O you travellers, Why do you not sympathise with me? Without brothers as I am, Why do you not help me? |
