Du Mu: Largely Uncertain In Great Battles Is To Win Or Lose; 杜牧 胜败兵家事不期, 包羞忍耻是男儿。 Poem by Frank Yue

TI WUJIANG TING
(Brushing a Poem on the Wall of the Wujiang Pavilion)
-- Du Mu (803－852)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Largely uncertain in great battles is to win or lose;
Able to stomach immense shame and insults is a true man.
East of Yangtze are talented, gallant young men from your clan.
To stage a comeback is the probability you should use!


【题乌江亭】 唐 • 杜牧

胜败兵家事不期,
包羞忍耻是男儿。
江东子弟多才俊,
卷土重来未可知。
