【Love and the Gentle Heart】

Dante Alighieri (1265—1321)

          Love and the gentle heart are one thing,

          just as the poet says in his verse,

          each from the other one as well divorced

          as reason from the mind’s reasoning.

          Nature craves love, and then creates love king,

          and makes the heart a palace where he’ll stay,

          perhaps a shorter or a longer day,

          breathing quietly, gently slumbering.

          Then beauty in a virtuous woman’s face

          makes the eyes yearn, and strikes the heart,

          so that the eyes’ desire’s reborn again,

          and often, rooting there with longing, stays,

        Till love, at last, out of its dreaming starts.

          Woman’s moved likewise by a virtuous man.

【《爱情与高贵的心灵》】

但丁•圣矛(1265生—1321卒)

            爱情与高贵的心灵互为形影，

            它们彼此辉映，难舍难分，

            好似理性始终伴随灵魂，

            诗人曾经这样歌吟。

            本性为倾慕的热流浸润，

            它使心灵宛如华宫，爱情恰似主人，

            爱情在心灵中恬静地休憩，

            或是短暂的睡眠，或是安度漫长的时辰。

            娴静的少女仪态万千，

            迷住了青年一双明亮的眸子，

            飘进他的心田，种下他的相思。

            那相思在心中不停歇地跃动，

            惊破沉沉睡梦，唤醒爱情的精灵，

            才貌拔群的青年，也这般把女子引动。
