'How to Read' offers a pretty different translation of Ancient Chinese Eleanor Rigby.
C1.9
Gathering the White Artemesia
Where do I gather the white artemesia?
By the pond, by the islet.
Whether do I use it?
In the service of the ruler.
Where do I gather the white artemesia?
All down the dale.
Whether do I use it?
In the palace of the ruler.
The glossy sheen of my hair knot,
Morning and night I am in the ruler’s service.
In disheveled profusion the hair in my knot,
As I hurriedly return.
It also has some extensive analysis (p 26).
