The Cloak, The Boat, And The Shoes
‘WHAT do you make so fair and bright?’
‘I make the cloak of Sorrow:
O lovely to see in all men’s sight
Shall be the cloak of Sorrow,
In all men’s sight.’
‘What do you build with sails for flight?’
‘I build a boat for Sorrow:
O swift on the seas all day and night
Saileth the rover Sorrow,
All day and night.’
What do you weave with wool so white?’
‘I weave the shoes of Sorrow:
Soundless shall be the footfall light
In all men’s ears of Sorrow,
Sudden and light.’
William Butler Yeats
斗篷，船和鞋子
“你在织什么，如此精致明丽？”
“我用忧伤织造斗篷：
噢它多可爱，在所有人眼中
是那忧伤的斗篷
在所有人眼中。”
“你在造什么，用远航的帆篷？”
“我为忧伤建造船篷：
噢在海面上日夜飞驰
漂泊的忧伤起航
日夜流浪。”
“你在纺什么，用洁白的羊毛？”
“我把忧伤纺成鞋子：
轻盈的脚步悄无声息
在所有忧伤的耳里
突然而轻盈。”
