In the Desert...
In the desert
I saw a creature, ★违反论坛条例!★, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter─bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
"Because it is bitter,
"And because it is my heart."
在沙漠...
在沙漠
我看到一个生物,赤条条,象只野兽
蹲在地上,
手里捧著他的心,
在吃。
我说:“好吃吗,朋友?”
“很苦──很难吃,”他回答;
“但我喜欢它
“因为它苦,
“因为它是我的心。”
I Saw a Man Pursuing the Horizon...
I saw a man pursuing the horizon
round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never─"
"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.
我看到一个人在追逐地平线...
我看到一个人在追逐地平线
一圈又一圈他们飞奔。
我看了很不舒服;
我向那个人打招呼。
“那是徒然的,”我说,
“你决不可能──”
“你说谎,”他大叫。
继续追他的。
I Walked in a Desert...
I walked in a desert.
And I cried,
"Ah, God, take me from this place!"
A voice said, "It is no desert."
I cried, "Well, but─
"The sand, the heat, the vacant horizon."
A voice said, "It is no desert."
我走在沙漠上...
我走在沙漠上。
我大叫,
“啊,上帝,带我离开这地方!”
一个声音说,“这不是沙漠。”
我大叫,“哦,可是──
“这沙,这热,这空无一物的地平线。”
一个声音说,“这不是沙漠。”
