Love’s Omnipresence

Joshua Sylvester

爱情是永恒的话题，舒婷的《致橡树》细腻的表达了东方女人的情感，今天，我们看一首同样是为爱而作的小诗，别样风格。



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.

爱，无所不至

乔舒亚·塞尔维斯特

即使我是低低的平原，

即使你是高高的蓝天，

我谦恭的心也会向上升腾，

来表达我对你这情人的眷恋。

即使我是蓝天俯瞰平原，

即使我的爱人你卑微低贱，

无论你在何处，我的爱都会追随，

哪怕你是大海底部的深渊。

即使你是大地我是蓝天，

我的爱会像太阳为你闪耀光焰，

用千万只眼睛把你注视，

直到世界崩毁，天塌地陷。

不论我在何处，与你相隔多远，

不论你在何处，我真心爱你永无改变。
