徐志摩 《阔的海》

阔的海空的天我不需要，
我也不想放一只巨大的纸鹞
上天去捉弄四面八方的风；
我只要一分钟
我只要一点光
我只要一条缝，－－
象一个小孩子爬伏在一间暗屋的窗前
望着西天边不死的一条缝，
一点光，一分钟。
 

The Fathomless Sea
Hsu Chih-Mo

The fathomless sea and heaven I do not want,
Nor do I wish to fly a giant kite
To catch the upper wind from every side;
I only want a moment,
I only want a gleam of light,
I only want a crevice—
Like a child in a dark room
Curled in the window seat,
Gazing upon the ever-open gap
Below the western sky, —
Merely for one minute,
A gleam of light.
