Rumi: time to sacrifice Taurus

TIME TO SACRIFICE TAURUS
是时候献祭金牛座了
这是团聚之夜，星辰将它们的光辉洒向我们。天空激动不已！金星不停地哼唱着她即兴编出的小曲儿，就像在初春温暖时节里的鸟儿一般。北极星不住地朝狮子座张望，双鱼座正搅起海底乳白色的尘埃。木星骑着马靠近土星，“老家伙，跳到我后面来！活力又回来了！咱们赶路的时候想点开心的事儿喊一喊呀。”火星洗净他那沾满鲜血的剑，将剑收起，然后开始建造东西。水瓶座的水罐满了，处女座慷慨地将水倾倒出来。昴宿星团、天秤座和白羊座再也不会颤抖了。天蝎座出门去寻觅爱人，射手座亦是如此！这可不像巨蟹座那样歪歪斜斜地行走。这是我们一直期盼的节日。终于到了献祭金牛座的时候了，也该去了解天空如何像一面可供透视的透镜了。用心聆听我话语中的深意。黎明时分，太阳将会出现，到那时，就连夜晚也将从它所钟爱的、充满生机的黑暗转变成这平凡而又美好的白昼里的一天。


This is the night of union when the stars scatter their rice over us. The sky is
excited! Venus cannot stop singing the little songs she's making up,like birds
in the first warm spring weather.The North Star can't quit looking over at Leo,
Pisces is stirring milky dust from the ocean floor.Jupiter rides his horse near
Saturn,"Old man, jump up behind me! The juice is coming back!Think of something
happy to shout as we go."Mars washes his bloody sword,puts it up, and begins
building things.The Aquarian water jar fills,and the Virgin pours it generously.
The Pleiades and Libra and Aries have no trembling in them anymore. Scorpio walks
out looking for a lover, and so does Sagittarius! This is not crooked walking
like the Crab.This is a holiday we've been waiting for.It is finally time to
sacrifice Taurus and learn how the sky is a lens to look through.Listen to what's
inside what I say. Shams will appear at dawn,then even night will change from
its beloved animated darkness to a day within this ordinary sweet daylight.
