附录:部分“梦”诗(英文)



A Dream within a Dream

by Edagar Allan Poe


This kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now, 

Thus much let me avow --

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day, 

In a version, or in none, 

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.


I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore, 

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand --

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep -- while I weep!

O God!  can I not grasp

Them wiht a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?



The Moonlight’s Dream

by Robert Penn Warren

 

Why did I wake at night, all the house at ease?

 I could not hear, but knew, what each breath meant

In each room. My father’s long drag to the depth of chest.

My mother’s as silky as rustle of lilies that leant

By the garden pool when night-breeze is merely a whisper.

But loudest of all that of my old grandfather,

Who with years struggled, grumbling, croupy, and slow

But once dreamed forth a yell for blood, at Fort Pillow or Shiloh.

 

Tonight the house was mouse-still except for some beam

That, whisper or creak, complained of the years it had borne

The weight of reality and the human dream

As the real became more real, and the real more forlorn.

Outside, I wondered why I had come here and where

I would go, and back-looking now, saw the tracks of my bare

Dark footprints set in the moonlit dew like snow,

And thought: I must go where they go, for they l must know where to go.

 

It was as though they knew their way in a dream

The  moonlight was having of all the world that night,

And I took the path it dreamed, which led to the stream

Where the cattle snorted in shadow, and eyes without sight

Stared through the dream that I was, while a whip-o-will

Asserted to moonlight its name, while nameless and still,

I wondered if ever my heart would beat again,

As I wandered the moonlight’s dream, past pleasure of past pain,

 

Across the sweet-clover whiteness, then up the hill

To the darkness that hung from old maples, and lay down to wonder

If I, being part of the moonlight’s dream, could be real.

For whatever realness I was, it must lie asleep yonder

In the far white house that was part of the moonlight’s dream, too.

Then blankness. At day-streak, in terror, I rose, ran through

The tangle of clover, the corn balks, the creek –- home to bed:

But no breath could I hear, and all seemed still, as still as the dead.

 

Not dead! Though long years now are, and the creek bull-dozed dry,

And their sorrow and joy, their passion and pain and endeavor,

Have with them gone in whatever reality

They were, or are, by sunlight or moonlight -– whatever.

The highway has slicked the spot the white farmhouse once stood.

At sixty per I am whirled past the spot, my blood

Unwitting of that as the defunct stream,

Or of the ignorant night I strayed at part of the moonlight’s dream.

 


The Dream

by W. H. Auden


Dear, though the night is gone,

Its dream still haunts today,

That brought us to a room

Cavernous, lofty as

A railway terminus,

And crowded in that gloom

Were beds, and we in one

In a far corner lay.

 

Our whisper woke no clocks,

We kissed and I was glad

At everything you did,

In different to those

Who sat with hostile eyes

In pairs on every bed,

Arms round each other’s necks,

Inert and vaguely sad.

 

What hidden worm of guilt

Or what malignant doubt

Am I the victim of,

That you, then , unabashed,

Did what I never wished,

Confessed another love;

And I, submissive, felt

Unwanted and went out.
