When You Are Old
閱讀 : 次
威廉·巴特勒·葉芝，愛爾蘭詩人、劇作家和散文家，著名的神秘主義者，是“愛爾蘭文藝復興運動”的領袖，也是艾比劇院的創建者之一。葉芝的詩受浪漫主義、唯美主義、神秘主義、象征主義和玄學詩的影響，演變出其獨特的風格。葉芝的藝術代表著英語詩從傳統到現代過渡的縮影。《當你老了》是葉芝于1893年創作的一首詩歌，是他獻給女友毛特·岡妮熱烈而真摯的愛情詩篇。詩歌語言簡明，但情感豐富真切。
When You Are OldBy W. B. Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,And nodding by the fire, take down this book,And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or true,But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overheadAnd hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
