【The Modest Little Wish】

Philippe Jaccottet (1925—2021)

            In the days when I was little

               had they asked me what I wanted,

            What I'd wish for first if wishes

               ever could be really granted,

            As the thought of such abundance

               I should long have hesitated,

            Picture-books, paint-boxes, soldiers -

               between these have vacillated.

            But grown older, plans were bolder;

               I had made my proud election

            - Fame as a hero, fame as the victor,

               worlds o'erthrown for resurrection;

            Or as an artist crowned with laurel,

               lord of some domain entrancing,

            Magic trees around me blossoming,

               and lovely ladies glancing.

            Nowadays, if hope has grown weary

               in the wishing-game persisted,

            Though I blushed to think the childish,

               foolish longing still existed,

            I would ask to hear the old way

               bells would sound when lying lonely

            Half-asleep, a little fellow. . .

               I would ask to hear that only.

【《蒼鵠》】

愛馬仕•雅各泰(1845生—1924卒)

             夜是一座沉睡的巨城

             你在這裡，風之鳥盤旋

             正如我在生活里是個異鄉人

             現在，我知道了，我什麼都不擁有

             正如一個喜歡待在憂傷里的蒼鵠
