我特別依戀生命中的幽暗時分，
在其中
心靈漸落深沉；

依稀在舊日的信箋中發現
已然被生活過的每個日子蹤影
杳如傳說
已獲理解

於是我明白了
另一道生命的寬廣無垠；

有時覺得
自己就像在墳頭上的一棵樹
奮力蜿蜒
用鮮活樹根擁抱著
一個在悲傷和歌聲中失落的夢

R.M. Rilke

=================
I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.

There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.

Then the knowing comes: I can open
to another life that's wide and timeless.

So I am sometimes like a tree
rustling over a grave
and making real the dream
of the one its living roots embrace:

a dream once lost
among sorrows and songs.

— Rainer Maria Rilke
