Let them live who choose in their own hissing world of fireworks.
My heart longs for thy stars, my God.
爱的苦痛,像澎湃的大海,在我的生命里放歌;
而爱的快乐,像鸟儿在花丛中吟唱。
Love’s pain sang round my life like the unplumbed sea;
and love’s joy sang like birds in its flowering groves.
如果您愿意,就熄了灯吧。
我将了解您的黑暗,而且将爱上它。
Put out the lamp when thou wishest.
I shall know thy darkness and shall love it.
在日子的尾梢,当我站在您面前时,
您将看见我的伤痕,明白我的许多创伤都已愈合。
When I stand before thee at the day’s end thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing.
总有一天,我将在另一个世界的晨光里对你歌唱:
“以前在地球的光里,在人类的爱里,我曾经见过你。”
Some day I shall sing to thee in the sunrise of some other world,
“I have seen thee before in the light of the earth, in the love of man.”
从别的岁月里飘进我生命中的云朵,不再落下雨滴,
也不再兴起风雪,只把色彩挥洒于我落日的天空。
Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer
to shed rain or usher storm but give colour to my sunset sky.
真理激起了反抗它的风暴,风暴则把真理的种子播撒开来。
Truth raises against itself the storm that scatters its seeds broadcast.
昨夜的风雨给今晨染上金色的和平。
The storm of the last night has crowned this morning with golden peace.
真理似乎带来了结论,
而那结论却催生了第二个真理。
Truth seems to come with its final word,
and the final word gives birth to its next.
有福之人,是因为他的真实比他的名誉更耀眼。
Blessed is he whose fame does not outshine his truth.
