灿烂星辰
Bright Star
——约翰·济慈
——John Keats
愿我如你坚定–璀璨明星！
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
但不要高悬夜空显赫孤零。
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
像尘世间的隐士警觉清醒，
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
耐心注视大地，目不转睛。
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
江水滔滔把牧师之职履行，
The moving waters at their priestlike task
将那红尘之堤岸沐浴洗净。
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
或者凝视着玉屑曼舞晶莹，
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
一袭白纱帐装扮旷野峻岭。
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
不，我要一心不二永笃定，
No–yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
头枕爱人的酥胸日渐坚挺。
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
永远感受跌宕起伏的温情，
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
洞察那份甜蜜的骚动不宁。
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
细柔的呼吸永远啜饮聆听，
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
这样活着，或者晕厥丧命。
And so live ever–or else swoon to death.
