方干(836—888),字雄飛,號玄英,門人私謚曰玄英先生。睦州青溪(今浙江淳安)人。為人質野,喜凌侮。每見人設三拜,曰禮數(shù)有三,時人呼為“方三拜”。徐凝一見器之,授以詩律。唐憲宗元和三年舉進士。錢塘太守姚合視其貌陋,缺唇,卑之。懿宗咸通中,隱居會稽鏡湖。有詩集。
《君不來》 方干
遠路東西欲問誰,寒來無處寄寒衣。
去時初種庭前樹,樹已勝巢人未歸。
Still Are Thou Away
Fang Gan
Whom can I ask whither goes thou on thy journey,
That I can send thee winter dress in the cold day?
When thou left home, in the courtyard was planted a tree,
It's now grown with a nest on it, yet still are thou away.
