Hi everyone!!
I'd like to suggest writing poems using the letters from 'baduk','go' and 'weiqi'.
You may pick one word and write as you like.
Also it doens't have to be about baduk.
Oh and I want you to write at the 'Topics' board, rather than 'add comments'.
Thank you!!
For example;
B: Becoming stronger is not easy.
A: Apart from all the efforts such as playing, studying and learning, you need to
D: Dream it, and even though it seems
U: Unlikely to happen,
K: Keep going!
G: Go is the most amazing and magnificent game I’ve ever known.
O: Only the people who love this game can play well!
W: Will you join my trip? I am looking for the baduk world.
E: Everyone plays baduk there.
I: I couldn’t believe it either, but some said that even the
Q: Queen likes to play baduk in that world.
I: I will find there someday for sure. You wanna come with me?
Jorge Luis Borges, from Argentina, one of the most important writers of all time wrote this poem about Baduk:
Hoy, 9 de septiembre de 1978,
tuve en la palma de mi mano un pequeño disco
de los trescientos sesenta y uno que se requieren
para el juego astrológico del Go,
ese otro ajedrez de Oriente.
Es más antiguo que la más antigua escritura
y el tablero es un mapa del universo.
Sus variaciones negras y blancas
agotarán el tiempo;
en él pueden perderse los hombres
como en el amor o en el día.
Hoy, 9 de septiembre de 1978,
yo, que soy ignorante de tantas cosas,
sé que ignoro una más,
y agradezco a mis númenes
esta revelación de laberintos
que ya no exploraré...
I'm sure that you can understand most of it, If you have trouble with something let me know and I'll try to translate it... but translating poetry is almost impossible.
