Let them live who choose in their own hissing world of fireworks.
My heart longs for thy stars, my God.
愛的苦痛,像澎湃的大海,在我的生命裏放歌;
而愛的快樂,像鳥兒在花叢中吟唱。
Love’s pain sang round my life like the unplumbed sea;
and love’s joy sang like birds in its flowering groves.
如果您願意,就熄了燈吧。
我將了解您的黑暗,而且將愛上它。
Put out the lamp when thou wishest.
I shall know thy darkness and shall love it.
在日子的尾梢,當我站在您麵前時,
您將看見我的傷痕,明白我的許多創傷都已愈合。
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.
總有一天,我將在另一個世界的晨光裏對你歌唱:
“以前在地球的光裏,在人類的愛裏,我曾經見過你。”
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.”
從別的歲月裏飄進我生命中的雲朵,不再落下雨滴,
也不再興起風雪,隻把色彩揮灑於我落日的天空。
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風暴,風暴則把真理的種子播撒開來。
Truth raises against itself the storm that scatters its seeds broadcast.
昨夜的風雨給今晨染上金色的和平。
The storm of the last night has crowned this morning with golden peace.
真理似乎帶來了結論,
而那結論卻催生了第二個真理。
Truth seems to come with its final word,
and the final word gives birth to its next.
有福之人,是因為他的真實比他的名譽更耀眼。
Blessed is he whose fame does not outshine his truth.
