英漢對照|王爾德詩選：復活節(jié)

Easter Day

The silver trumpets rang across the Dome:

The people knelt upon the ground with awe:

And borne upon the necks of men I saw,

Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.

Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,

And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,

Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:

In splendour and in light the Pope passed home.

My heart stole back across wide wastes of years

To One who wandered by a lonely sea,

And sought in vain for any place of rest:

'Foxes have holes, and every bird its nest,

I, only I, must wander wearily,

And bruise my feet, and drink wine salt with tears.'

復活節(jié)

銀色的號角吹響，越過了教堂的穹頂：

人民心懷敬畏跪拜在大地上：

透過頸項之間的縫隙，我看見，

羅馬神圣的教皇，像一尊偉大的天神。

教士的打扮，穿一襲比浪花更白的長袍，

披著王室的紅綬帶，更像一名國王，

他的頭上高聳一頂金色的三重冠：

教皇走回自己的住所，顯赫而光鮮。

我的心偷偷地潛回那荒廢的大片歲月，

面對在孤獨的大海邊徘徊的人，

他在徒然地尋找一處安身的場所：

“狐貍有洞穴，小鳥也有巢窩，

我，只有我，必須疲憊地流浪，

我的腳跟有淤青，啜飲淚水泡制的苦酒。”
