Love’s Omnipresence

Joshua Sylvester

愛情是永恒的話題，舒婷的《致橡樹》細膩的表達了東方女人的情感，今天，我們看一首同樣是為愛而作的小詩，別樣風格。



WERE I as base as is the lowly plain,

And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,

Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain

Ascend to heaven, in honour of my Love.



Were I as high as heaven above the plain,

And you, my Love, as humble and as low

As are the deepest bottoms of the main,

Whereso’er you were, with you my love should go.



Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,

My love should shine on you like to the sun,

And look upon you with ten thousand eyes

Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.



Whereso’er I am, below, or else above you,

Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.

愛，無所不至

喬舒亞·塞爾維斯特

即使我是低低的平原，

即使你是高高的藍天，

我謙恭的心也會向上升騰，

來表達我對你這情人的眷戀。

即使我是藍天俯瞰平原，

即使我的愛人你卑微低賤，

無論你在何處，我的愛都會追隨，

哪怕你是大海底部的深淵。

即使你是大地我是藍天，

我的愛會像太陽為你閃耀光焰，

用千萬只眼睛把你注視，

直到世界崩毀，天塌地陷。

不論我在何處，與你相隔多遠，

不論你在何處，我真心愛你永無改變。
