A Grain of Sand
　　一粒沙子
　　William Blake/威廉.布莱克

　　To see a world in a grain of sand,
　　And a heaven in a wild fllower,
　　Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
　　And eternity in an hour.
　　从一粒沙子看到一个世界，
　　从一朵野花看到一个天堂，
　　把握在你手心里的就是无限，
　　永恒也就消融于一个时辰。

On the Feeling of Immortality in youth
　　有感于青春常在
　　William Hazlitt/威廉.赫兹里特

　　No young man believes he shall ever die.It was a saying of my brother's,and a fine one.There is a feeling of Eternity in youth,which makes us amend for everything.To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods.One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains instore for us with all its countless treasures;for there is no line drawn,and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes.We make the coming age our own-
　　年轻人不相信自已会死。这是我哥哥的话，可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留，我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——

When you are old

When you are old and grey and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book
And slowly read ,and dream of the soft look
Yours eyes had once,and of their shadows deep

How many loved your moments of glad grace
And loved your beauty with love false or true
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face

And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars

当你老了叶芝当你老了,白发苍苍,睡意绵绵, 在炉前打盹,请取下这部诗歌, 慢慢吟咏,梦见你当年的双眼, 那美丽的光芒与清幽的晕影; 多少人爱过你的美丽, 爱过你欢快而迷人的青春, 假意,或者真情, 惟独一个人爱过你朝圣者的灵魂, 爱你苍老的脸上痛苦的皱纹; 当你佝偻着,在炽热的炉子边, 你将轻轻诉说,带着一丝伤感, 逝去的爱,如今已步上高山, 在密密星群里埋藏着他的赧颜.

“ You say that you love rain,but
you open your
umbrella when it rains.
You say that you love the sun, but
you find
a shadow spot when the sun shines.
You say that you love the wind,
but you close
your windows when wind blows
This is why i am afraid, when you
say that
you love me too. ”

诗经版：
子言慕雨，启伞避之。
子言好阳，寻荫拒之。
子言喜风，阖户离之。
子言偕老，吾所畏之。

七律版：
江南三月雨微茫，罗伞叠烟湿幽香。
夏日微醺正可人，却傍佳木趁荫凉。
霜风清和更初霁，初蹙峨眉锁朱窗。
怜卿一片相思意，犹恐流年拆鸳鸯。

文艺版：
你说烟雨微芒，兰亭远望；
后来轻揽婆娑，深遮霓裳。
你说春光烂漫，绿袖红香；
后来内掩西楼，静立卿旁。
你说软风轻拂，醉卧思量；
后来紧掩门窗，漫帐成殇。
你说情丝柔肠，如何相忘；
我却眼波微转，兀自成霜。

离骚版：
君乐雨兮启伞枝，君乐昼兮林蔽日，
君乐风兮栏帐起，君乐吾兮吾心噬。

一棵开花的树
　　席慕容　
　　如何让你遇见我
　　在我最美丽的时刻　
　　为这
　　我已在佛前求了五百年
　　求佛让我们结一段尘缘
　　佛於是把我化做一棵树
　　长在你必经的路旁　　
　　阳光下
　　慎重地开满了花
　　朵朵都是我前世的盼望
　　当你走近
　　请你细听
　　那颤抖的叶
　　是我等待的热情
　　而当你终於无视地走过
　　在你身後落了一地的
　　朋友啊
　　那不是花瓣
　　那是我凋零的心　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　A Blooming Tree　　
　　Hu Yongfang (胡永芳译
　　May Buddha let us meet
　　in my most beautiful hours,
　　I have prayed for it
　　for five hundred years.
　　Buddha made me a tree
　　by the path you may take,
　　In full blossoms I'm waiting in the sun
　　every flower carrying my previous hope.
　　As you are near, listen carefully
　　the quivering leaves are my waiting zeal,
　　As you pass by the tree
　　without noticing me,
　　My friend, upon the ground behind you
　　is not the fallen petals but my withered heart.
