When I have fears 每当我害怕
John•Keats 约翰•济慈
查良铮 / 译

作者介绍:
【约翰•济慈】:(John•Keats,1795年10月31日—1821年2月23日),出生于18世纪末年的伦敦,杰出的英国诗人作家之一,浪漫派的主要成员。济慈才华横溢,与雪莱、拜伦齐名。他善于运用描写手法创作诗歌,将多种情感与自然完美结合,从生活中寻找创作的影子。他的诗篇能带给人们身临其境的感受。

When I have fears that I may cease to be
每当我害怕,生命也许等不及
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
我的笔搜集完我蓬勃的思潮,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
等不及高高一堆书,在文字里,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
象丰富的谷仓,把熟谷子收好;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
每当我在繁星的夜幕上看见
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
传奇故事的巨大的云雾征象,
And think that I may never live to trace
而且想,我或许活不到那一天,
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
以偶然的神笔描出它的幻相;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
每当我感觉,呵,瞬息的美人!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
我也许永远都不会再看到你,
Never have relish in the faery power
不会再陶醉于无忧的爱情
Of unreflecting love;--then on the shore
和它的魅力!——于是,在这广大的
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
世界的岸沿,我独自站定、沉思,
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
直到爱情、声名,都没入虚无里。
