啊,我!啊,生命!这些不断轮回的问题
关于无穷无尽的信仰全无者,关于充斥着愚者的城市
关于无休无止的自我谴责,(可是还有谁比我更愚蠢、更无信仰呢?)
关于奢望光明的眼睛,关于那些低等的贱民,关于那些不断重燃的战斗
关于那些造物主的败笔,目之所及无聊且肮脏的人群
关于那些空虚无益的余生,我也难于幸免
那个问题,哦,天啊!如此悲伤地,轮回着 ——
这一切又有何益处,所谓的我,所谓的生命?
答案。
是你在这里——生命即存在且昭然。
是伟大的戏码继续上演,而你或可贡献一行诗句。
O,Me! O,Life!
BY WALT WHITMAN
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Sourse:《Leaves of Grass》,1892
