若彼若此
生由太始
逍遥遨游
魂剥魄褫
不偏不倚
不即不离
有亢无悔
自失自迷
相伴如朋
相游鹏程
相对寂寞
相忘鸿蒙
若即若离
若有所思
魂魄归兮
同往崦嵫
有光来仪
和合如织
缠绵悱恻
比翼之诗
原诗:
英译:
Two Parallels
once went two parallels
out in the infinite,
two straight souls
and from a solid home.
they did not want to intersect
until their peaceful grave
this was, what to say,
both’s secret pride and way.
but after ten lightyears
of such common traveling,
the lonesome couple felt
not really earthly anymore.
were they still parallels?
they couldn’t say, –
they were only like two souls flowing
together through eternal light.
the eternal light permeated them,
thus they became one in him;
eternity swallowed them,
just like two seraphim.
克里斯蒂安·摩根斯特恩(Christian Otto Josef Wolfgang Morgenstern)(6 May 1871 – 31 March 1914) 德国作家,诗人。曾在柏林当记者,后为医治糟糕的身体,大部分时间辗转于德国、瑞士、意大利等地。虽然这些旅行并未治好他,却开阔了他的文学和哲学见识。
这首诗是他在和一位数学家朋友交流后所写,主题其实是平行线。
