3.6 Stray Birds 42-51


42

You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.

43

The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing.

But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

44

The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness.

45

He has made his weapons his gods. When his weapons win he is defeated himself.

46

God finds himself by creating.

你微微地笑着,不同我说什么话。而我觉得,为了这个,我已等待得久了。

水里的游鱼是沉默的,陆地上的兽类是喧闹的,空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的。

但是,人类却兼有海里的沉默、地上的喧闹与空中的音乐。

44

世界在踌躇之心的琴弦上跑过去,奏出忧郁的乐声。

45

他把他的刀剑当做他的上帝。

当他的刀剑胜利时他自己却失败了。

46

神从创造中找到他自己。

Shadow, with her veil drawn, follows Light in secret meekness, with her silent steps of love.

48

The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.

49

I thank thee that I am none of the wheels of power but I am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it.

50

The mind, sharp but not broad, sticks at every point but does not move.

51

Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.


47

阴影戴上她的面幕,秘密地,温顺地,用她的沉默的爱的脚步,跟在“光”后边。

48

群星不怕显得像萤火虫那样。

49

谢谢神,我不是一个权力的轮子,而是被压在这轮下的活人之一。

50

心是尖锐的,不是宽博的,它执着在每一点上,却并不活动。

51

你的偶像委散在尘土中了,这可证明神的尘土比你的偶像还伟大。
