You lift your head up so high,
standing proud above the clouds.
Sometimes you cry,
sending your awesome sounds.
But you never know and never see
that I am a flat guy, never grow tall.
I am the sea ,
I can contain you, and all, big or small.
你把头抬得老高,
骄傲地站立于云层之上。
有时你呼号,
发出让人敬畏的声响。
但你从来不知道,也看不到
我是一个扁平的,从来长不高的伙计。
我是大海,
我能容纳你--天空,和一切,无论大细。
(读 The Sea By Dorothy Parker 有感)
Who lay against the sea, and fled,
Who lightly loved the wave,
Shall never know, when he is dead,
A cool and murmurous grave.
But in a shallow pit shall rest
For all eternity,
And bear the earth upon the breas
That once had worn the sea.
