天问(屈原)(之五)
夜光何德,死则又育?
厥利维何,而顾菟在腹?
女歧无合,夫焉取九子?伯强何处?
惠气安在?何阖而晦?何开而明?
角宿未旦,曜灵安藏?
Asking Heaven (5)( QuYuan)
Moon being there eternal with wax and wane
Was showed up her noble-related blood never-die?
What on it there was the black spot?
As if in its belly there was a toad-three-legged
How could Unwed-Divine NiuQi(女歧)
Have given birth to nine sons of her?
Where was the vast of the emptiness of a cave?
For the Wind-Divine BoQiang(伯强) making his blow.
Why alternated day and night
Like opening a door or the door-closed?
Was the sun stealthful of its own shadow?
And lost his form filled in his time?
