Love’s Omnipresence 
 
Joshua Sylvester

愛情是永恒的話題，舒婷的《緻橡樹》細膩的表達了東方女人的情感，今天，我們看一首同樣是為愛而作的小詩，别樣風格。

WERE I as base as is the lowly plain,
And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain
Ascend to heaven, in honour of my Love.

Were I as high as heaven above the plain,
And you, my Love, as humble and as low
As are the deepest bottoms of the main,
Whereso’er you were, with you my love should go.

Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
My love should shine on you like to the sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes
Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.

Whereso’er I am, below, or else above you,
Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.

愛，無所不至

喬舒亞·塞爾維斯特

即使我是低低的平原，
即使你是高高的藍天，
我謙恭的心也會向上升騰，
來表達我對你這情人的眷戀。

即使我是藍天俯瞰平原，
即使我的愛人你卑微低賤，
無論你在何處，我的愛都會追随，

哪怕你是大海底部的深淵。
即使你是大地我是藍天，
我的愛會像太陽為你閃耀光焰，
用千萬隻眼睛把你注視，
直到世界崩毀，天塌地陷。

不論我在何處，與你相隔多遠，
不論你在何處，我真心愛你永無改變。
