～珀西·毕希·雪莱
啊，世界！生命！时间！
我攀上最后的梯级，
为曾立足之处战栗着；
你的韶华何时再现？
啊，不再，永远不再！
每一天，每一夜
也寻不回逝去的乐趣：
初春、夏日和寒霜，
给我懦弱的心以悲痛，而快乐
啊，不再，永远不再！
（桔子 译）
A
Lament
~Percy Bysshe
Shelley
O World! O Life! O Time!
On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before;
When will return the glory of your prime?
No more -Oh, never more!
Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight:
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar,
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more -Oh, never more.
Rembrandt, Self-portrait in at the Age of 63
