Mankind is many rivers

人类犹若诸多河流

That only want to run

流水潺潺

Holy Tragedy and Loss

因巨大的悲剧和损失

Make the many One

众多河流汇集成一

Mankind is a Holy, crowned

人类是神圣的

Mother and her son

加冕为圣母和圣子

For worship, for mourning:

为崇拜，为哀悼：

God is here, is gone

神降临人间，神离去

Love is broken in the Cross

爱在十字架上破碎

The Flower on the Gun

枪杆上开出一朵鲜花

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

他冀求天国的锦缎

W.B.Yeats

叶芝

Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths

倘若我能得到天国的锦缎

Enwrought with golden and silver light

织满金色与银色的光彩

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

那湛蓝、灰暗、漆黑的锦绣
Of night and light and the half-light

织上黑夜白昼朦胧的光彩
I would spread the cloths under your feet:

我愿将这块锦缎铺在你脚下
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

可我，一贫如洗，仅仅拥有梦想
I have spread my dreams under your feet;

就把我的梦铺展在你脚下
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

轻一点啊，因为你脚下踩着我的梦

La Vita Nuova

新生

Dante

但丁

Such sweet decorum and such gentle grace

我的女郎向他人致意时

Attend my lady’s greeting as she moves

是多么温存，多么谦逊

That lips can only tremble into silence

旁人舌头颤栗而又不出声

And eyes dare not attempt to gaze at her

眼睛亦不敢向她正视

Moving, benignly clothed in humility

她经过时听到赞誉之词

Untouched by all the praise along her way

整个风采谦逊而又温文

She seems to be a creature come from Heaven

仿若是自天而降的精灵

She walks in Beauty Like the Night

她在美中徜徉

Byron

拜伦

She walks in beauty, like the night

她在美中徜徉，像静夜——

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
深邃苍穹，缀满繁星
And all that's best of dark and bright
一切明暗交织，最美妙的色泽
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
在她的容颜和双眸中汇合

Everyone Sang

众人齐歌

Siegfried Sassoon

西格弗里德·萨松

Everyone’s voice was suddenly lifted;

人们倏然引吭高歌

And beauty came like the setting sun:
诗意的黄昏之景出现
My heart was shaken with tears;

我的心随泪水而震颤

and horror Drifted away...

恐惧烟消云散...

O, but Everyone Was a bird;

啊，人们当真成了鸟儿
and the song was wordless;

无言的歌
the singing will never be done

永远唱不尽

The World’s Need

世界最需要

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

埃拉·惠勒·威尔科克斯

So many gods, so many creeds

如此多的神灵，如此多的信条

so many paths that wind and wind

如此多的道路，弯弯又绕绕

while just the art of being kind

唯有善心善行

is all the sad world needs

世界最需要

Remember

记住

Christina Rossetti

克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂

Remember me when I am gone away

记住我吧，当我远远离开

Gone far away into the silent land；

去到那遥远的静谧之地
When you can no more hold me by the hand

当你无法再紧握我手
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay

我也无法欲离还留
Remember me when no more day by day
记住我吧，当你再也不能每日
You tell me of our future that you plann'd
向我倾诉，你对我俩未来的憧憬
Only remember me; you understand
只需记住我，你知道

It will be late to counsel then or pray
那时谏言与祈求都已太迟
Yet if you should forget me for a while

你若暂且将我忘却
And afterwards remember，do not grieve:
而后追忆我时，请不要悲恸
For if the darkness and corruption leave
黑暗与腐朽中若留下
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had，
我过往的丁点思绪残迹
Better by far you should forget and smile
你应忘却而怡然
Than that you should remember and be sad

那将远胜于怀念而神伤
