白朗宁夫人：她的诗一如她的爱（二）
抒情十四行诗集第二首But only three in all God's universe
可是在上帝的全宇宙里，总共才只
Have heard this word thou hast said, -- Himself, beside
三个人听见了你那句话：除了
Thee speaking, and me listening! and replied
讲话的你、听话的我，就是他--
One of us ... _that_ was God, ... and laid the curse
上帝自己!我们中间还有一个
So darkly on my eyelids, as to amerce
出来答话;那昏黑的诅咒落上
My sight from seeing thee, -- that if I had died,
我的眼皮，挡了你，不让我看见，
The death-weights, placed there, would have signified
就算我瞑了目，放上沉沉的“压眼钱”，
Less absolute exclusion. `Nay' is worse
也不至于那么彻底隔绝。唉，
From God than from all others, O my friend!
比谁都厉害，上帝的那一声“不行!”
Men could not part us with their worldly jars,
要不然，世俗的诽谤离间不了我们，
Nor the seas change us, nor the tempests bend;
任风波飞扬，也不能动摇那坚贞;
Our hands would touch for all the mountain-bars
我们的手要伸过山岭，互相接触;
And, heaven being rolled between us at the end,
有那么一天，天空滚到我俩中间，
We should but vow the faster for the stars.
我俩向星辰起誓，还要更加握紧。
