【Leda and the Swan】

William Butler Yeats (1865—1939)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature for Wintering Out in 1923〗

          A sudden blow: the great wings beating still

          Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed

          By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,

          He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.

          How can those terrified vague fingers push

          The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?

          And how can body, laid in that white rush,

          But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

          A shudder in the loins engenders there

          The broken wall, the burning roof, and the tower

          And Agamemnon dead.

          Being so caught up,

          So mastered by the brute blood of the air,

          Did she put on his knowledge with his power

          Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?

〖1923年诺贝尔文学奖〗

              猝然一攫：巨翼犹兀自拍动，

              扇着欲坠的少女，他用黑蹼

              摩挲她双股，含她的后颈在喙中，

              且拥她无助的乳房在他的胸脯。

              惊骇而含糊的手指怎能推拒，

              她松弛的股间，那羽化的宠幸？

              白热的冲刺下，那扑倒的凡躯

              怎能不感到那跳动的神异的心？

                         腰际一阵颤抖，

                         从此便种下

                  败壁颓垣，屋顶和城楼焚毁，

                  而亚加曼侬死去。

                  就这样被抓，

                  被自天而降的暴力所凌驾，

                  她可曾就神力汲神的智慧，

                  乘那冷漠之喙尚未将她放下？
