Isn't it strange that princes and kings,
王子和国王，
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
在木屑圈里挑来跳去的小丑，
and common people, like you and me,
一如你我的凡人，
are builders for eternity?
怎么会是永恒的打造者？
Each is given a bag of tools;
人人都拿到了一袋工具，
a shapeless mass; a book of rules.
一大块不成形的东西，一份规则表。
And each must make ere life is flown,
在生命流逝之前，人人都必须
A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone.
雕刻出一块绊脚石或是一块垫脚石。
牧怣
这个背景音乐是什么呢？
