不经意的
那你一直在寻找的
突然间
你来到它面前
威尔士山区的小村
无尘
没有出去的路了
但惟有你碰巧进来的那条。
一棵碧树上
一只鸟在和鸣
这个时光不是你所知晓的
任一时光。河悠闲
为你持捧一面明镜
在那里你可以看见
你本来的自己,一位旅行者
带着月亮的光环
在其上空,经过长途跋涉
他已抵达他的最初
出发处,出乎意料地捕捉
这一真相
于斯有所期待的一切。
(微笑 译)
Arrival
Not conscious
that you have been seeking
suddenly
you come upon it
the village in the Welsh hills
dust free
with no road out
but the one you came in by.
A bird chimes
from a green tree
the hour that is no hour
you know. The river dawdles
to hold a mirror for you
where you may see yourself
as you are, a traveller
with the moon's halo
above him, whom has arrived
after long journeying where he
began, catching this
one truth by surprise
that there is everything to look forward to.
