图书序言
心
心!我们要忘记他!
你和我— 就在今夜!
你务必忘记他给予的温暖—
我要忘记的是光亮!
当你做到了请告知我,
好让我立刻开始!
赶快!免得当你拖拖拉拉时
我可能会记起他!
J#47
Heart! We will forget him!
You and I — tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave —
I will forget the light!
When you have done pray tell me,
That I may straight begin!
Haste! lest while you’re lagging
I may remember him!
痛苦有一种空白的成分
痛苦— 有一种空白的成分—
它无法忆起
何时开始— 或是否曾有
一个时期它不存在—
它没有未来— 除了它自己—
它的无限包含
它的过去— 看过去觉悟到
新阶段的— 痛苦。
J#650
Pain — has an Element of Blank —
It cannot recollect
When it begun — Or if there were
A time when it was not —
It has no future — but itself —
It’s Infinite contain
It’s Past — enlightened to perceive
New Periods — Of Pain.
爱
爱像其他东西,我们长大了就不再适用
所以把它收进抽屉里—
直到古老的方式再度流行—
类似祖父母的服装。
J#887
We outgrow love, like other things
And put it in the Drawer —
Till it an Antique fashion shows —
Like Costumes Grandsires wore.
我居住在可能里
我居住在可能里—
一座比散文优美的屋宇—
有更多窗子—
门扇更上等。
房间像似雪松盖成—
目光无法看透—
它持久不朽的屋顶—
是以天空为瓦—
来访者— 最上等的嘉宾—
从事的工作— 就是这个—
张开我小小的双手
採集天国乐土—
J#657
I dwell in Possibility —
A fairer House than Prose —
More numerous of Windows —
Superior — for Doors —
Of Chambers as the Cedars —
Impregnable of Eye —
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky —
Of Visitors — the fairest —
For Occupation — This —
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise —
