Copy a love poem written by Thomas for you. Love is cruel and love is sweet. There is bitterness in sweetness, not honey, which is worthy of charm and a philosophical interpretation of love. At the same time, I also send you Guo Moruo's translation for your understanding.

Love is cruel, love is sweet

Thomas McDonell

original text

Love is cruel, love is sweet,

Cruel sweetness,

Lovers sigh until lovers meet,

Sighs meet and sigh again-

Cruel sweetness! Ah, the sweetest pain!

Love is blind-but love is cunning,

Blind and cunning

Thought is bold, but words are shy—

Bold and cunning—

Bold and cunning, and bold-

Fear is boldness, shyness and pain.

Thomas Mcdonough's masterpiece.

Translated by Guo Moruo

Love is cruel and love is sweet.

Cruel and sweet,

Lovers are heartbroken before they meet,

Heartbroken encounter-

Meet heartbreakingly, say goodbye, heartbreakingly-

Cruel sweetness! Sweetest heartbreak!

Love is blind and keen,

Blind and keen,

Brave and shy-

Brave and shy—

Brave and shy, brave and brave-

Courage is sweet-shyness is heartbreaking.
