布鲁斯·迈舍尔/Bruce Marshall

I think often of these lines,both when I am sad and when I am glad.I think of them when I am sad,because their rhythm teaches me that the timeless patience of God is reflected in the mirror of the sea.Whatever the stupidities of men in cities or council chambers,the waves will alw ays be in choir,chanting their psalm.They sang before Genghis Khan and they will still sing after the atom bomb.Those thoughts make me glad an d I murmur the words again,because I am also grateful.

“涌动的海水,就像是牧师在为地球上人类的海岸进行圣洁的洗礼……”

——济慈

无论开心还是悲伤,我都常会想到这几行诗。悲伤的时候我想到它们,是因为根据诗中所描写的海水节奏可以得知,上帝永恒的耐心将通过大海这面镜子反射出来。无论城市或会议室里的人们多么愚昧无知,海浪依然歌唱,唱着赞美诗。在成吉思汗之前他们就开始歌唱了,在原子弹时代之后,他们还会继续歌唱。这些想法使我高兴,所以我又低诵这两行诗,因为我心中充满了感激之情。
