Time, Real Nnd Imaginary Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Time, Real nnd Imaginary

☆ Poetry by Samuel Taylor Coleridge


On the wide level of a mountain's head,
(I knew not where, but 'twas some faery place)
Their pinions, ostrich-like, for sails out-spread,
Two lovely children run an endless race,
A sister and a brother!
This far outstripp'd the other;
Yet ever runs she with reverted face,
And looks and listens for the boy behind:
[Image] For he, alas! is blind!
O'er rough and smooth with even step he passed,
And knows not whether he be first or last.

山峰宽阔扁平
（我不知道在哪里，但那是仙境）
仙人的羽翼，像鸵鸟，像船帆兜风
两个可爱的孩子赛跑无休止
姐姐和弟弟！
互相较劲，超越另一个
姐姐脸带笑容跑着
看看，听听，弟弟紧随其后头
[图像]，唉哟！好盲目！
跑过崎岖和平地，弟弟走过每一步
不知道他拿第一还是跑最后
