劍客
十年磨一劍，
霜刃未曾試。
今日把示君，
誰有不平事？
- 賈島 (779–843)
Shí nián mó yī jiàn,
shuāng rèn wèicéng shì.
Jīnrì bǎ shì jūn,
shuí yǒu bùpíng shì?
Jianke - the Swordsman
Ten years I polished this sword,
the frosty edge has never been tested.
Today I take it in hand, showing you sir,
who suffers an injustice?
Jia Dao (779–843)
