兩棵樹
威廉·巴特勒·葉芝
在葉芝的眼裡,生命是一個過程,正如詩歌一樣。當你青春年少時,生命就象枝葉婆娑的綠樹,在夏日的流風中歡快地歌唱,快樂卻缺乏思想的沉澱;而當你年老了,你的生命枝葉現出繁華落盡的凋零,但是你遒勁的枝幹,通過根蒂和大地緊密相連,那就是你的根本所在,這種對生命的認識,隻有在生命最後才能真正領悟。
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart,
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start,
And all the trembling flowers they bear.
親愛的,凝視你自己的心裡,
那神聖的樹就在那裡生長;
從歡樂中生發出神聖的繁枝,
顫巍巍的花朵綴滿枝頭上。
The changing colours of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light,
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night;
它那果實變幻的斑斓的色彩
用悅目的光給群星作嫁資;
它那隐蔽着的根須實實在在
已經把寂靜栽種在黑夜裡;
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody,
And made my lips and music wed,
Murmuring a wizard song for thee.
它那滿頭的繁葉頻頻的搖曳
賦予了海浪以澎湃的旋律,
也使我的雙唇得與音樂結合,
為你低唱一支迷幻的歌曲。
There, through bewildered branches, go
Winged Loves borne on in gentle strife,
Tossing and tossing to and fro
The flaming circle of our life.
在那裡愛神們繞圈翩翩起舞,
把我們的如火的青春環繞,
旋轉着,纏繞着,反反複複,
沿着樹葉覆蓋的無知大道;
