(21) Farewell Peter Hall!





悼澳洲何彼得教授
記得二〇〇九年何彼得教授參加香港大學為我舉辦六十五歲的祝壽國際學術會議。七年之後,還未來得及為他舉辦同樣的會議,他竟然英年早逝。何其上天忌才如此?
二〇一六年元月十一日於阿根廷首都


                              七載難忘祝壽時
                              風華正茂共推之
                              上天嫉妒何其忍
                           奪罷英年竟不遲 



Seven years ago,
When I was sixty-five years old, 
Others, you told
To my birthday party, they should all go.
Memory has never failed me:
In your prime, your achievements, academia all agree.
O, how dare Up-Above, being so jealous,
Snatch you away hastily, so callous!


(Translation by Mr. Yee-Kwong Kwan)
