Love’s Secret

Love’s Secret

英国诗人威廉·布莱克（William Blake）在《爱情之秘》（Love’s Secret）中写道：

 

Soon as she was gone from me

A traveller came by

Silently，invisibly——

He took her with a sigh

 

朱光潜将这一段直译为：

她离我去了

不多时一个过客来了

不做声不做气的

只微叹一声，便把她带走了

Love's Secret

by William Blake

Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears.
Ah! she did depart!

Soon after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.
