Darkness travels towards light, but blindness towards death.

小狗怀疑宇宙密谋篡夺它的地位。

The pet dog suspects the universe for scheming to take its place.

静坐吧,我的心,不要扬起你的灰尘。

让世界自己寻找通向你的路。

Sit still, my heart, do not raise your dust.

Let the world find its way to you.

弓对即将离弦的箭低语道:“你的自由就是我的自由。”

The bow whispers to the arrow before it speeds forth—“Your freedom is mine. ”

女人,在你的笑声里有着生命之泉的乐章。

Woman, in your laughter you have the music of the fountain of life.

满是理智的思想,有如一柄锋利的刀。

它让使用它的人手上流血。

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade.

It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

上帝爱人间的灯火甚于他自己的巨星。

God loves man’s lamp-lights better than his own great stars.

这世界是被优美的音乐所驯服了的狂风暴雨的世界。

This world is the world of wild storms kept tame with the music of beauty.

晚霞对落日说:“被你亲吻后,我的心好像黄金宝箱。”

My heart is like the golden basket of thy kiss, said the sunset cloud to the sun.

接触也许会让你受伤;远离也许会独善其身。

By touching you may kill, by keeping away you may possess.

蟋蟀的啁啾,夜雨的吧嗒,穿越黑暗传至我的耳边,

仿佛我逝去的青春蓦地来到我的梦境中。

The cricket’s chirp and the patter of rain come to me through the dark,

like the rustle of dreams from my past youth.

花儿对着繁星落尽的晨空哭喊:“我的露珠全丢了。”

I have lost my dewdrop, Cries the flower to the morning sky that has lost all its stars.

燃烧着的木材发出熊熊火焰,喊道:

“这是我的花儿,我的死亡。”
