Imitation Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Imitation

☆ by Edgar Allan Poe


A dark unfathomed tide
Of interminable pride -
A mystery, and a dream,
Should my early life seem;
I say that dream was fraught
With a wild and waking thought
Of beings that have been,
Which my spirit hath not seen,
Had I let them pass me by,
With a dreaming eye!
Let none of earth inherit
That vision of my spirit;
Those thoughts I would control,
As a spell upon his soul:
For that bright hope at last
And that light time have past,
And my worldly rest hath gone
With a sigh as it passed on:
I care not though it perish
With a thought I then did cherish

☆ [美] 埃德加•爱伦•坡(1809 - 1849) 诗
☆ [中] 罗志海 译


一个深不可测的黑暗浪潮
无休止的骄傲
我早年的生活看来好像
一个迷团，一个梦想
我说那个梦想令人担忧
既狂野又清醒的思想
众生存世
我未曾见过我自己的魂魄
他们在我身边经过
带着一个梦想的眼睛！
让地球不继承
我的幻觉我的魂魄
我会控制那些思想
他灵魂之上的咒语
为了最后光明的希望
时光已经逝去
我在尘世没得休息
走时它一声叹息
我不在乎它灭亡
一想到这我会好好珍惜
