這句： “我不恨所要殺的
我不愛所守衛的”
** 1918年犧牲的飛行員為葉芝朋友Lady Augusta Gregory的兒子
An Irish Airman Forerseees HIs Death
William Butler Yeats
I know that I shall met my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end culd bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
