冬天
冬之钻石光茫洒满大地：
就在西方寒冷光环之中，
幻影般紫花朵轻绽谁识
依偎暮光朦胧。
幻影般花朵只片刻存在，
短暂的美丽；星星闪斐斐
寒冷刺心痛：渴望你盛开，
哦，圣光的花蕾。
从未可见于感官或情思，
美丽花朵远绽之地隐秘；
若在内心深处，无法得知，
知道 ，它已遁迹。
Winter
A diamond glow of winter o'er the world:
Amid the chilly halo nigh the west
Flickers a phantom violet bloom unfurled
Dim on the twilight's breast.
Only phantasmal blooms but for an hour,
A transient beauty; then the white stars shine
Chilling the heart: I long for thee to flower,
O bud of light divine.
But never visible to sense or thought
The flower of Beauty blooms afar withdrawn;
If in our being then we know it not,
Or, knowing, it is gone.
- by George William Russell (1867 - 1935), "Winter", appears in The Earth Breath and Other Poems, first published 1897
