Hmmm, not sure of

引用:
That little path was by-passed the temple


There is a case of grammar here.

Here is my version based on your original. It's a pity your original is gone. Anyway, all the credits should go to your first post.

The diminished tolling
has spun a cobweb, and rippled into rings of age
in the cracks of the columns.
No memories. The stones
that echo in the empty valleys
have no memories.
When the little path ran away from here
dragons and queer birds also flew away,
taking with them the silent bells from the eaves.
Year after year, wild weeds grow,
indifferent to the masters they submit to -
the monks’ cloth shoes, or the wind.
Broken stone tablets. Words engraved are worn out,
as if only legible by the light of a big fire.
Perhaps, led by the gaze of the living
the tortoise will resurrect from beneath the earth
and, burdened by many secrets,
crawl over the threshold.



It's not necessarily better, just an alternative that may work IMO.

Hmm. Lake's translation is more poetic. Good.

My suggestions would be the following:


1) the monks’ cloth shoes, or the wind.
2) and, burdened by many secrets,

Eagle-eyed, 温暖的水獸. It's my carelessness. When I carried it from my work place to home, the "comma" and "or" were dropped.

Thanks, I'll have them added back.

I still prefer, for all the works, that the original stays, so that further comparison can be made.

川生 写到:


古寺 北岛

消失的钟声
结成蛛网,在裂缝的柱子里
扩散成一圈圈年轮

An Ancient Temple


The disappeared songs of a bell
woven into cobwebs in the columns' crevices
have grown outward into numerous tree rings.
No memories left.


I think the opening sentence is too long and complex; maybe you need to cut it into few short sentences.

The rest of the translation is good.
