Suicide note 遺書
LangstonHughes
The calm,
Cool face of the river,
Asked me for a kiss
平靜的，
淡漠的河面，
向我索一個吻
There is a Lady Sweet and Kind 有一位姑娘美麗又溫柔
Thomas Ford
There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never a face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet,
I’ll love her till I die.
有一位姑娘甜美又溫柔;
從未有一張臉讓我如此心蕩神搖;
我只看見她經過;
就會愛她到永遠。
As I Watch’d the Ploughman Ploughing 當我看到農夫在田里耕作
Walt Whitman
As I watch’ d the ploughman ploughing，
Or the sower sowing in the fields，
or the harvester harvesting，
I saw there too，O life and death，your analogies;
(Life,life is the tillage, and Death is the harvest according.)
當我看到農夫在田里耕作，
或看到播種者辛勞在田間，
或是收獲者收獲時，
我在那兒也看到，生與死啊，與這一切多么相似;
(生，生是耕作;而死亡則是相應的收獲。)
In delay there lies no plenty 時日無多
William Shakespeare
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me,
sweet and twenty,
Youth’s a stuff that will not endure.
遷延蹉跎,來日無多;
二十麗姝,請來吻我;
衰草枯楊,青春易過。
