雨天一早出門，只見兩道巨大的彩虹橫越天空，讓我想起英國十九世紀女詩人Christina Rossetti的那首”The Rainbow”:

Boats sail on the rivers,

  And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that sail across the sky

  Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,

  As pretty as you please;

But the bow that bridges heaven,

  And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,

  Is prettier far than these.

因為是兒童詩，她的文字通俗易懂，但我還是把它翻成中文吧：

小舟漂蕩於河流

大船航行在海上

但那天上行駛的雲彩

比它們更加漂亮

一座座橋橫跨河上

說多漂亮就多漂亮

但那鏈接蒼穹的拱橋

跨越於森林上方

在天地間建造一條路

比它們更加漂亮
