Burton Watson: The Selected Poems of Du Fu Burton Watson: The Selected Poems of Du Fu Burton Watson's collection of Du Fu translations presents 135 poems, including most of the poet's best-known poems.
Watson seems to attempt to replicate this ambiguity, but can only do so by conflating the two interpretations: the flowers and birds feel and hate respectively, but the observer weeps and is alarmed.
This is in fact exactly what Watson does in line 5; the original text speaks of beacon fires as being "connected", but does not narrow this down to connection in either space or time.

 RollingStone.com: Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Burton and his co-director, Mike Johnson, use the stop-motion technique, which means taking puppets -- about a foot tall -- and painstakingly moving them half a millimeter at a time to achieve a subtlety of expression beyond the range of CGI.
Burton used stop-motion in 1993's The Nightmare Before Christmas, but the digital improvements at his disposal now really make it sing.
In the guise of a family film, Burton evokes a darkly erotic obsession that recalls Edgar Allan Poe and Hitchcock's Vertigo.

Burton was perceptive and was able to ask simple piercing questions which showed how ludicrous Fiegels position was and the room joined in sometimes showing their approval.

 Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005): Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Emily Watson, Tim Burton, Caroline Thompson
Burton has created some chilly sequences, especially the one where Victor (Depp), being unable to properly recite his wedding vows at a rehearsal, flees into the forest in shame, only to betroth himself to a dead bride after accidentally placing a wedding ring on her finger while practicing his vows.
The main problem with the film is that Burton and his team of writers — John August, Caroline Thompson and Pamela Pettler — try too hard to cram as much as they can into the film, but merely create rudimentary characterizations for their principal players.
Perhaps it was because Burton was working on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the same time that he could not devote more time to this project.
