李金发之《弃妇》

长发披遍我两眼之前，

遂割断了一切羞恶之疾视，

与鲜血之急流，枯骨之沉睡。

黑夜与蚊虫联步徐来，

越此短墙之角，

狂呼在我清白之耳后，

如荒野狂风怒号：

战栗了无数游牧

靠一根草儿，与上帝之灵往返在空谷里。

我的哀戚惟游蜂之脑能深印着；

或与山泉长泻在悬崖，

然后随红叶而俱去。

弃妇之隐忧堆积在动作上，

夕阳之火不能把时间之烦闷

化成灰烬，从烟突里飞去，

长染在游鸦之羽，

将同栖止于海啸之石上，

静听舟子之歌。

衰老的裙裾发出哀吟，

徜徉在丘墓之侧，

永无热泪，

点滴在草地，

为世界之装饰。

Woman Abandoned

LiJinfa

Longhair hangs down before my eyes,

Cuttingoff all glances of contempt and shame

Andthe rapid flow of fresh blood, the sound sleep of bleached bones.

Insectsand the dark night arrive hand in hand,

Overthe corner of this low wall

Tohowl behind my ears that never have been soiled.

Theyhowl like winds in the wilderness,

Frighteningmany shepherds and their charges.

Byway of a blade of grass I communicate with God in the deserted vale.

Onlythe memory of the roaming bees has recorded my sorrow.

OrI may pour my sorrow along with the cascades tumbling over the cliff,

Anddrift away among the red leaves.

Ateach of her motions she feels the weight of her sorrow increasing;

Nofire of a setting sun can burn the ennui of time

Intoashes to float away through the chimneys and attach themselves

Tothe wings of itinerant crows,

Andwith them perch on the rocks of a roaring sea,

Tolisten to the boatmen’s songs.

Signsof her timeworn skirts,

Asshe saunters in a graveyard.

Neverwill she again drop a hot tear

Onthe lawn

Toadorn this world.
