走在所有離別的前麵

走在所有離別的前麵 仿佛它們已經發生 

在你身後 就像那個剛剛經過的冬天

因為在這些個冬天裏 有那麽一個 是如此的沒有止境

隻有經曆所有 你的心靈才能到達彼岸

讓我們在歐律狄刻中永遠地死去 愉悅攀升

進入你歌聲裏所描繪的完美生活

在這裏 在落下的姿態之中 在轉瞬即逝的時間裏

成為那隻水晶杯 破碎的一刹那 發出一聲脆響

存在著 — 但是知道萬物始於虛無  

那個你自身最強烈的律動的無限之源

因此 這一次 請把你自己向它完完全全地交出

向那些所有依律而行的事物 向那些浩瀚無垠的大自然裏 

所有沉默不語的生命 向那不可言述的大全之中

欣欣然加入你自己吧 丟棄所有的規劃與算計

The Sonnets To Orpheus: Book 2: Xiii (Be Ahead of All Parting) by Rainer Maria Rilke

Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were

behind you, like the winter that has just gone by.

For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter

that only by wintering through it all will your heart survive.

Be forever dead in Eurydice-more gladly arise

into the seamless life proclaimed in your song.

Here, in the realm of decline, among momentary days,

be the crystal cup that shattered even as it rang.

Be-and yet know the great void where all things begin,

the infinite source of your own most intense vibration,

so that, this once, you may give it your perfect assent.

To all that is used-up, and to all the muffled and dumb

creatures in the world's full reserve, the unsayable sums,

joyfully add yourself, and cancel the count.

Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Be Ahead of All Parting

Be ahead of all parting, as if it had already happened,

like winter, which even now is passing.

For beneath the winter is a winter so endless

that to survive it at all is a triumph of the heart.

Be forever dead in Eurydice, and climb back singing.

Climb praising as you return to connection.

Here among the disappearing, in the realm of the transient,

be a ringing glass that shatters as it rings.

Be. And know as well the need to not be:

let that ground of all that changes

bring you to completion now.

To all that has run its course, and to the vast unsayable

numbers of beings abounding in Nature,

add yourself gladly, and cancel the cost.
