Done talking about the paintings they return, with the curtain soaked up the moonshine.
I would consider "soak" a better word for "透". Please leave me your comments. Thanks.

: Hi. It's poetry, so I figure 透 is being used evocatively to mean several things. It probably conjures different images for different people. 透帷 also appears in 繁花麗影透帷紗, 草香透帷... a different translation is probably needed for each one.
