浦江清錄一段(1931) Imagined Happiness
With Pink of the cranberry brightYour wistful mouth I've expressed.
With Soft mosses red and white
Have hinted your throat and brest.
From birch-leaves in autumn turning
I caught the right gold of your hair,
But your Smile has a touch of yearning
I never could capture there.

Song After Harvest
- Here dances Fridolin:
- Oh, but he's full of the sweet red wine
- And his acres' crops and his orchard's fruit
- And the whirl of the waltz divine.
- And over his elbows his coat-tail flops
- As with each fair damsel in turn he hops,
- Till spent on his bosom and blissfully mute,
- Like a drooping poppy she drops.
- And here dances Fridolin:
- Nay, but he's full of old memories' wine,
- For his sire and his grandsire were cheered of old
- By the hum of that scraped violin.
- But ye slumber, ye ancients, this festal night,
- And numbed is the hand of your fiddler-wight,
- And your lives and your times are a tale that is told
- In music now sad, now bright.
- But here dances Fridolin!
- Look at your son, how strong, how fine!
- He can talk with the yokel in yokel phrase,
- With the learned quote line for line.
- Thro' the new field swishes his scythe in June,
- Like you he is glad for the harvest's boon,
- And he lifts up his girl like a man of your race
- To the bowl of the simmering moon.
- Erik Axel Karlfeldt
- English lyrics by C.D. Locock 1929
Maiden Maria
- She comes across the meadowgrass near Sjugaretown.
- She is a little maiden with cheek of petal down,
- Yes, like almond-flow'r and rosebud, blooming far from road and town,
- From rude and dusty footfall hidden.
- Oh, what pathways have you wandered, that the sun has burnt you not?
- And what are the dreams, Maria, in your tender heart and thought,
- That your blood never burns, by passion bidden?
- There glows a wondrous light about your bright uncovered hair
- And your brow like yonder moon-bow is shining,
- As over Bergsang's hills he moves high and white and fair
- And gleams through hawthorn branches entwining.
- The evening breezes cooling bring the columbines rest,
- And little golden lily bells ring in the sabbath blest.
- Soft sounds from colt and kid arise, from paddock, fold and nest,
- Faint chirping from the bed of the swallow.
- Now the youths and maids of Dalarna are walking two by two.
- You are fair beyond the others, the adored of all are you,
- Why alone, lost in thought, leave all to follow?
- You're like a wond'ring maiden by her first communion stirred
- Who in the silent Whitsun night doth waken
- With beating heart remembering the words that she has heard,
- While of the solemn rites she has partaken.
- Turn back, turn back, Maria, now the evening is spent.
- You've come too far alone, heed your mother's sad lament.
- You're small and you are tender, like a twig of willow bent,
- And in the wood roam bears — go not nigher!
- Ah, the rose that you are holding is your token and your crest;
- It was brought you by an angel from a garden heaven-blest:
- You can tread on the serpent and the briar.
- There glows a path of moonlight flung across the vast dark sky
- To Siljan where the evening red grows dimmer . . .
- You e'en could make your bridal way to Paradise on high
- Upon that narrow bridge of light ashimmer.
- Erik Axel Karlfeldt

讀過2-3本浦江清先生的作品 現在手頭上只有:
《浦江清文史雜文集》( 北京:清華大學出版社 1993)
 | 浦江清文史雜文集 浦漢明 清華大學 定價：RMB 16.80 1997年09月 裝幀： 32平 ISBN 7-302-01198-2 版次：一版一刷 |
簡介：
"著名文學史家浦江清教授，早年研修西洋文學，後致力於「東方學」與中國古典文學，長期在清華大學、北京大學任教。本書以收集他在二、三十年代的作品為主，兼及後期。其「人物評介」與「圖書評介」，廣涉古今中外，在世界文化背景下評述東西文化名人名著，開比較文學之先河，獨具青年學者的機敏與遠見。其「文史研究」與「教育研究」則面向青年學子，介紹文學、語言學、史學等之精萃，行文細緻、循循善誘，有如面授之親切感。書的附浦先生年譜。 "
先生當助教的時候學過數種語言 基礎很好
他的雜文很了不起 譬如說 可能是中文首次簡介牛津英語大字典 OED 的 (pp.58-65) 寫橋牌(舊體詩) 這跟他們辦學衡 等刊物有關 (所以記Remember by Christina Georgina Rossetti {願君常憶我}多版本翻譯 並有作者百年紀念文....)
"几年下来，终于收齐了浦先生解放后在国内出版的几种不太厚的书： 《浦江清文录》《浦江清文史杂文录》《西行日记·清华园日记》以及最近出的一本选集 《无涯集》。《文录》所收多是些费力气的论文，尤其喜欢里面的《八仙考》和《唐宋词讲解》；《杂文录》则多为辑遗之作，如当年为报纸副刊所作书评，讲义等 等，琐屑中自有珠玉辉光在；《日记》则更见私人色彩，尤西行赴滇的记录，与钱穆的《师友杂忆》，吴宓的《日记》相较而读，绝对是一次妙趣横生的旅行；至于 最新的《无涯集》，价值在收录的书信和照片上。"

送小讀者《怎樣製杏仁餅》：《西哈諾》神遊中土七十餘載的簡介
最近讀雜書，發現在1929年，翻譯品質和翻譯評論
例子為：

曷斯當( Edmond Rostand)著《西哈諾》(Cyrano de Bergerac)( 方于翻譯，上海:春潮書局，1929) 《怎樣製杏仁餅》
打散雞卵黃和白，
成泡沫；
檸檬果汁一勺注；
味香色麗堪合作，
和乳酪；
更注甘美杏仁露。
雞卵牛酪和麥粉，
如玉韞；
一一分置餅范間；
四周用指疾約束，
鋪杏肉；
沃以和料色斑斕。
點低沁入范陷中，
爐正紅；
餅范入爐才俄頃，
嫣然一例鬥新粧，
色金黃；
賜予美名杏仁餅！
*****
王若 璧改寫/翻譯《如何做杏仁撻餅》
幾隻雞蛋打至
起泡；
將泡沫雞蛋汁
調入檸檬香料；
再加
香甜杏仁奶水。
和勻奶油麵團，
填進
水果撻餅模型；
細細塗抹杏子
蜜膏
一點點一滴滴
蛋汁慢慢倒入
麵殼，
排隊送進烤爐，
烤出金黃色澤，
就成
特製杏仁撻餅。
