卡明斯： 與你之愛並立在末日之地

與你之愛並立在末日之地——

當一片（巨大，比巨大還
巨大）正陌生化的海水躍起、稚嫩地猛擲雪片

倘若我們不愛，親愛的；想象

我們自己就像這些不死不活的
（或如同眾多夢而無夢的心
或百萬個迷迷瞪瞪的腦門）
盲目的沙粒，籠罩於無情慈悲的

時間時間時間時間時間

——多幸運啊你和我，有免於
流遷的家園：從永恒的此刻之
芬芳群山，我們已漫行而下

好嬉戲於生與死如此之迷
於一日（甚或比一日更短）

（微笑 譯）


stand with your lover on the ending earth
by e.e. cummings

stand with your lover on the ending earth-

and while a(huge which by which huger than
huge)whoing sea leaps to greenly hurl snow 

suppose we could not love,dear;imagine

ourselves like living neither nor dead these
(or many thousand hearts which don't and dream
or many million minds which sleep and move)
blind sands,at pitiless the mercy of

time time time time time

-how fortunate are you and i,whose home
is timelessness:we who have wandered down
from fragrant mountains of eternal now 

to frolic in such mysteries as birth
and death a day(or maybe even less)
