On His Seventy-Fifth Birthday
七十五歲生日作
Walter Savage Landor
沃爾特•薩維奇•蘭多
I strove with none, for none was worth my strife.
我和誰(shuí)都不爭(zhēng), 和誰(shuí)爭(zhēng)我都不屑;
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art.
我愛(ài)大自然, 其次就是藝術(shù);
I warmed both hands before the fire of life;
我雙手烤著, 生命之火取暖;
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
火萎了, 我也準(zhǔn)備走了。
