兴之所至又一译：露易丝·格丽克《红罂粟》
红罂粟
露易丝·格丽克
大事物
无定神。情感：
噢，那些我有；它们
辖制我。我有一个
居于天堂的上帝，叫太阳，
向他敞开，呈现我的自心之火，
一如他的风仪。
如果不是一颗心，何堪荣耀？
噢我的兄弟姐妹
你可像我的曾经，很久以前，
在你作为人之前？你可会
允许你自己
开放一次，然后不再开放？因为
实际上我正在言说
你的作为。我言说
因我已粉碎。
(成婴译)
The Red Poppy
by Louise Glück
The great thing
is not having
a mind. Feelings:
oh, I have those; they
govern me. I have
a lord in heaven
called the sun, and open
for him, showing him
the fire of my own heart, fire
like his presence.
What could such glory be
if not a heart? Oh my brothers and sisters,
were you like me once, long ago,
before you were human? Did you
permit yourselves
to open once, who would never
open again? Because in truth
I am speaking now
the way you do. I speak
because I am shattered.
