艾麗斯.梅內爾(1847-1922):英國詩人,作家,婦女參政主義者.
I must not think of thee;and,tired yet syrong,
I shun the thought that lurks in all delight--
The thought of thee--and in the blue heaven's height
Oh,just beyond the fairest thoughts that throng
This breast,the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright;
But it must never,never come in sight;
I must stop short of thee the whole day long,
But when sleep comes to close each difficult day,
When night gives pause to the long watch I keep,
And all my bonds I needs must loose apart,
Must doff my will as raiment laid away,--
With the first dream that comes with the first sleep
I run,Irun ,I am gather'd to thy heart.
不可思念妳，我雖疲累卻堅持
逃避那潛藏於所有喜悅的情思－－
對妳的想念－－在藍天高處
在歌曲最甜蜜的壹節裏．
啊，在這美好的思憶聚攏之際，
想妳的心潛伏而流暉；
但是它是萬萬不可顯露；
我須終日警惕，卻步於妳的周圍．
然而，當睡眠來結束每壹個艱難的白晝，
當黑夜讓我長久的窺探稍做停息之時，
我得解開壹切的束縛，
該得把堅守的意誌像收藏的衣裳般脫下，－－
酣然入睡，夢鄉初啟的壹刻，
載欣載奔，我已迎上妳的心頭．

Auguries of Innocence純真預言
written by William Blake
威廉.布萊克(1757-1827):英國第壹位重要的浪漫主義詩人,同時
也是壹位畫家和雕刻家.
To see the world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know
Through the world we safely go.
Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine;
The poor man's farthing is worth more
Than all the gold on Afric's shore.
One mite wrung from the labourer's hands
Shall buy and sell the miser's lands:
Or,if protected from on high,
Does that whole nation sell and buy.
He who mocks the infant's faith
Shall be mocked in age and death.
He who shall teach the child to doubt
The rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
He who respects the infant's faith
Triumph's over Hell and death.
He who doubts from what he sees
Will ne'er believe,do what you please.
If the Sun & Moon should doubt
They'd immediately go out.
To be in a passion you good may do,
But no good if a passion is in you.
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to Endless Night.
We are led to believe a lie
When we see not through the Eye
Which was born in a night to perish in a night
When the soul slept in beams of Light.
God appears & God is light
To those poor souls who dwell in Night,
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.
從壹粒細沙中窺探世界,
在壹朵野花裏尋覓天堂,
掌中握無限,
霎那成永恒.
當真理被惡意利用時,
比壹切臆造的謊言猙獰.
現實本來就是這樣;
人,生來就要面對歡樂和悲愴;
只要能明了這壹點
我們就不會再受傷.
將歡樂和憂傷編織,
披在我神聖的心上;
窮人手裏的壹個銅板
抵抵得上非洲海岸的所有黃金.
從勞動者手中榨取的壹丁點錢
能買得下守財奴的所有土地:
如果得到上天的庇護,
甚至可以買賣國土的全部.
誰曾嘲笑純真的信念
他將被歲月和死亡譏諷.
誰要動搖純真的信念
他將永遠被埋葬在陳腐的墓穴中.
誰能尊重純真的信念
他將會戰勝地獄和死亡.
如果不相信自己的眼睛
將永遠不懂得去信任,請隨心而行.
如果太陽和月亮心存猜疑
它們將會瞬間熄滅.
被激情圍繞就能擁抱美好,
情欲攻心則會迷失自我.
每壹個夜晚,每壹個清晨
有人生來就為不幸傷神
每壹個清晨,每壹個夜晚
有人生來就被幸福擁抱.
有人生來就被幸福擁抱,
如果不是親眼所見
我們就會相信謊言
謊言在黑夜裏生滅
靈魂在光芒中休眠.
對掙紮在暗夜的人
上帝散發出光明,
對生活在白晝的人
上帝幻化為人形.。
