Sunset
Slowly the west reaches for clothes of new colors
which it passes to a row of ancient trees.
You look, and soon these two worlds both leave you
one part climbs toward heaven, one sinks to earth.
leaving you, not really belonging to either,
not so hopelessly dark as that house that is silent,
not so unswervingly given to the eternal as that thing
that turns to a star each night and climbs--
leaving you (it is impossible to untangle the threads)
your own life, timid and standing high and growing,
so that, sometimes blocked in, sometimes reaching out,
one moment your life is a stone in you, and the next, a star.
日落
緩慢的 西方伸出手去 觸摸自己色彩絢爛的新衣裳
然後又把它們 披到了那排古老的樹木身上
你等著瞧 很快 這兩個世界都會把你拋在身後
一個攀升去了天堂 一個跌落沉入大地
離開你 不屬於任何一方的你
不是那無望的黑暗 就像那個靜默的房屋
也不是那堅定不移的永恒 每個夜晚 它都會化為星星 升起 —
離開你 （那是個不可能解開的線團）
你自己的生活 卑微的 誌氣高昂的 生長的
有的時候你會被封閉 有的時候 又會被放開
有的時候 在你的心裏 你的生活就像是一塊兒石頭
下一個時候
這塊兒石頭冉冉升起 變成了星星

The setting sun is a much-favored scene with both visual and narrative artists: painters, photographers, film-makers, prose writers, poets.
Firstly, of course, there are the ethereal, eye-catching, and intensely colorful effects that light creates on both our physical senses and our emotional cognition. Shadows and softness falling all around alter not just how the physical world appears to us, but also our corresponding emotional responses to it.
Then, there’s the signaling of a day ending, of a change in rhythms as almost everywhere the world over, we set aside one part of our lives to turn to another. The setting sun can be a glorious climax to a fruitful day or it can be a welcome respite to a tiring, difficult one.
Finally, and, perhaps, most importantly, there is the strong religious belief in sunlight as a life-force. Consider that, according to the Bible, the process of creation began with light: “And God said, let there be light, and there was light. And, God saw the light, and it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.” Many ancient cultures not only worshiped the sun but created entire mythologies around it. These have endured and, in turn, have given a mystical aspect to the in-between times when the sun rises or sets — between day and night, between light and dark, between being awake and being asleep — that make it almost magical. In fact, in ancient cultures, both sunrise and sunset were considered times when magic was at its most potent because the membranes between the earthly and other worlds were more permeable then and visitors could travel between worlds at such times with greater ease.

緩慢的，
西方伸出手去，
換了一批色彩絢爛的新衣裳。
然後，
又把新衣裳曬到了，
那排古老的樹幹上。
問大樹好。
剛剛到你家逛了一圈兒， 喜歡你文字的清新簡約。
我是地瓜版，接地氣。你是哲學深邃版 ：）
喜歡你的譯詩，完全不同的風格， 也許可以叫清新淡雅版？ 最喜歡這一句：
那一刻，
你的生命，
如石落下，又如星升起
日落
慢慢的，在那西邊，
光影迷離，色彩變化
那排古代年代的樹，
光掠過，光又離開
沉吟間，這一切又都走了，
獨留你，悄然無言，誰也不屬
可是，你的心裏，
並沒有無盡的黑暗，如荒屋般喑啞
也沒有永存不移的堅定，如星辰夜夜升起
心若千千結
一邊沉默渺小
一邊生花勃發
就這樣，
有時，我們心思倦伏，
有時，我們昂然向上，
那一刻，
你的生命，
如石落下，又如星升起
謝謝聞香。周末愉快。
就喜歡你做的飯， 和拍的飯的照片 ：）
離開，不是高開。 請幫忙改一下 ：）

我把它存下來了。
我隻會弄飯：）
嗬嗬， 我寫詩譯詩可以， 哪有草姐姐的組織能力啊 ：）
