The time will come
when, withelation
you willgreet yourself arriving
at yourown door, in your own mirror
and eachwill smile at the other's welcome,
and say,sit here. Eat.
You willlove again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine.Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself,to the stranger who has loved you
all yourlife, whom you ignored
foranother, who knows you by heart.
Take downthe love letters from the bookshelf,
thephotographs, the desperate notes,
peel yourown image from the mirror.
Sit. Feaston your life.爱 复 爱
------ 沃尔科特
有朝一日,
会心情振奋,
欢迎自己来到
自己的门前,进入自己的镜子,
彼此报以微笑,
说:坐这儿,吃吧.
你将再度爱上
那曾是你自己的陌生人,
给酒.面包.你的心还给
自己,还给
爱了你一辈子的
生人;你忽视了他,
而去注意别人;他深知你.
从书架上取下情书,
照片,绝望的笔记来,
从镜子上剥下你自己的影像,
坐,饱餐你的生命吧!
DerekWalcott
