当一盏灯破碎了


雪莱  (英国)









当一盏灯破碎了,
它的光亮就灭于灰尘;
当天空的云散了,
彩虹的辉煌随即消隐。
要是琵琶断了弦,
优美的乐音归于沉寂;
要是嘴把话说完,
爱的韵味很快就忘记。





有如乐音和明光
必和琵琶与灯盏并存,
心灵弹不出歌唱
假如那精气已经消沉:
没有歌,只是哀悼,
象吹过一角荒墟的风,
象是哀号的波涛
为已死的水手敲丧钟。





两颗心一旦结合,
爱情就离开精制的巢,
而那较弱的一个
必为它有过的所煎熬。
哦,爱情!你在哀吟
世事的无常,何以偏偏
要找最弱的心灵
作你的摇篮、居室、灵棺?





它以热情颠疲你,
有如风暴把飞鸦摇荡;
理智将会嘲笑你,
有如冬日天空的太阳。
你的巢穴的椽木
将腐烂,而当冷风吹到,
叶落了,你的华屋
就会把你暴露给嘲笑。




When The Lamp Is Shattered
1
When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow's glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.
2
As music and splendor
Survive not the lamp and the lute,
The heart's echoes render
No song when the spirit is mute:--
No song but sad dirges,
Like the wind through a ruined cell,
Or the mournful surges
That ring the dead seaman's knell.
3
When hearts have once mingled,
Love first leaves the well-built nest;
The weak one is singled
To endure what it once possessed.
O Love! who bewailest
The frailty of all things here,
Why choose you the frailest
For your cradle, your home, and your bier?
4
Its passions will rock thee,
As the storms rock the ravens on high;
Bright reason will mock thee,
Like the sun from a wintry sky.
From thy nest every rafter
Will rot, and thine eagle home
Leave thee naked to laughter,
When leaves fall and cold winds come.
Percy Bysshe Shelley 
1822年
