To my dearest beloved I dedicated this sonnet borrowed from William Shakespeare just to show my gratitude to her. Thank her for her support and encouragement in times of my trouble!
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his heig...>>阅读全文

How can I repress the currents of Achilles’ wroth
When she, the most angelic beloved of mine,
Is blasphemed by the contemptuous calling of a father’s name?
A wroth is doubled, nay, tripled by the misunderstanding,
Distorted and despised to be mean and narrow-minded,
Of the innocently unaware conscience of my beloved!
Repressed, Repressed and Repressed again this wroth should be,
No matter how painful this arrow of wroth turns to bite my heart,
For love of her, for love from he...>>阅读全文

My little naughty,
Do you know how empty my heart is
When you are not beside me
Even for such a short period of time.
I try to read,
Because I hope reading may fill up
Part of this emptiness in my heart
Your brief absence leaves.
However, the emptiness seems unfathomable,
No matter how hard I try,
& how much I intend to put into this emptiness,
It just grows even larger, and, deeper.
I try to reach out for the brim
Of this bowl of ever growing emptiness,

In a land beyond sight or conceiving,
In a land where no blight is, no wrong,
No darkness, no graves, and no grieving,
There lies the great ocean of song.
And its waves, oh, its waves unbeholden
By any save gods, and their kind,
Are not blue, are not green, but are golden,
Like moonlight and sunlight combined.
It was whispered to me that their waters
Were made from the gathered-up tears
That were wept by the sons and the daughters

你可曾见到
那遥远无边灿烂的云彩
那可是来自
你神往土地的传书
召唤着你千年不泯的情怀
你可曾听到
那苍茫的海角飘来的船歌
唱起千丈白帆对笑雄雄海风
扬起满弦希望铭记你苏醒的一刻
前进，前进，前进吧！
迈出你被黄沙磨砺的双脚
让万里大漠只在我们身后呼啸！
干沙出泉，狂潮让道
抖去身上的风尘，跃上青山
让我们，向苍天呼唤！

用小调皮的话来说，哥哥的中文实在是“信”到了极点……
用小调皮的话来说，哥哥的英文倒真是颇有“橡树”的感觉……
谢谢小调皮丰富的words of criticism
刚看到了小调皮多日前的留言，一下子有颇多的感受，于是决定用最简单但最忠诚的方式来再现小调皮的感人吧：
“哥，文章很有条理，主要都取材于第一二章吧，似曾相识的感觉，因为咱们看时找到的重点相差无几。能为我熬到这么晚，非常感激，用一生来还你么？

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,

O my Luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;

LITTLE GIDDING
I
Midwinter spring is its own season
Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,
Suspended in time, between pole and tropic.
When the short day is brightest, with frost and fire,
The brief sun flames the ice, on pond and ditches,
In windless cold that is the heart's heat,
Reflecting in a watery mirror
A glare that is blindness in the early afternoon.
And glow more intense than blaze of branch, or brazier,
Stirs the dumb spirit: no wind, but pentecostal fire

THE DRY SALVAGES
(The Dry Salvages—presumably les trois sauvages—is a small
group of rocks, with a beacon, off the N.E. coast of Cape Ann,
Massachusetts. Salvages is pronounced to rhyme with assuages.
Groaner: a whistling buoy.)

I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river

EAST COKER
I
In my beginning is my end. In succession
Houses rise and fall, crumble, are extended,
Are removed, destroyed, restored, or in their place
Is an open field, or a factory, or a by-pass.
Old stone to new building, old timber to new fires,
Old fires to ashes, and ashes to the earth
Which is already flesh, fur and faeces,
Bone of man and beast, cornstalk and leaf.
Houses live and die: there is a time for building
And a time for living and for generation
And a time for the wind to bre...>>阅读全文

Four Quartets, a poem written by T. S. Eliot, will well answer the question raised in last post. It is a poem about time and the dynamic eternity. This dynamic eternity is really what life and love and reality consist of. Read on, and we may get more meaning, not attainable simply from outside judgement, out of life. ----Ntaoncy

我如果爱你——
绝不像攀援的凌霄花
借你的高枝炫耀自己；
我如果爱你——
绝不学痴情的鸟儿
为绿荫重复单调的歌曲；
也不止像泉源
长年送来清凉的慰藉；
也不止像险峰
增加你的高度，衬托你的威仪，
甚至日光。
甚至春雨。
不，这些都还不够！
我必须是你近旁的一株木棉，
作为树的形象和你站在一起。
根，紧握在地下
叶，相触在云里。
每一阵风过
我们都互相致意，
但没有人
听懂我们的言语。
你有你的铜枝铁干
像刀、像剑，
也像戟；
我有我红硕的花朵
像沉重的叹息，
又像英勇的火炬。
我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳；

What is love to us? There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself. Therein it resembles our own spirits, whose beginning, whose ending, we never can find,--so entire, so boundless. (To borrow the structure from Emerson)

In the rapture of life and of living,
I lift up my heart and rejoice,
And I thank the great Giver for giving
The soul of my gladness a voice.
In the glow of the glorious weather,
In the sweet-scented, sensuous air,
My burdens seem light as a feather -
They are nothing to bear.
In the strength and the glory of power,
In the pride and the pleasure of wealth
(For who dares dispute me my dower
Of talents and youth-time and health?),
