【Old City】 Umberto Saba (1883—1957) Often, to return to my home I take a dark street in the old city. Yellow is reflected in some puddle a few lights and the street is crowded.
Here among the people who come and go from the tavern to the house or to the brothel, where the detritus are goods and men of a great seaport, I find, passing, the infinite in humility.
Here a prostitute and a sailor, the old man what a blasphemy, the female who quarrels, the dragon sitting at the shop of the fryer, the tumultuous young woman has gone mad love, they are all creatures of life and pain; the Lord is stirred in them, as in me.
Here I feel humble in the company my thoughts become purer where the way is uglier. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《老城》】 陽光鬥士•薩巴(1883生—1957卒) 通常,為了回家 我取道老城一條昏暗的路。 三兩泥潭映出路燈的 黃光,街道擁塞不堪。 這裡,熙來攘往的人們 從酒肆回家,或奔了青樓[1], 偌大的海港上 人和貨物的碎屑匯集於此, 我穿行,我尋找人性的 無窮。 這裡,有妓女和水手,罵罵咧咧的 老人,乞討的婦女, 有端坐油條鋪里的 龍騎兵, 也有因愛而瘋瘋癲癲,吵吵鬧鬧的 女人, 全不外生活和痛苦的 造物; 他們焦躁不安,主啊,如我一般。 這裡,我感到在卑賤者的陪伴下 我的思緒變得 更為潔淨,在那道路最下流的地方。
