《LEAVES O F GRASS(草叶集)》One of the great innovative figures in American letters,Walt Whitman created a daringly new kind of poetry that became a major force in world literature. Leaves of Grass is his one book. First published in 1855 with only twelve poems, it was greeted by Ralph Waldo Emerson as "the wonderful gift.., the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed."Over the course of Whitman"s life, the book reappeared in many versions, expanded and transformed as the author"s experiences and the nation"s history changed and grew. Whitman"s ambition was to create something uniquely American. In that he succeeded. His poems have been woven into the very fabric of the American character. From his solemn masterpieces "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom"d" and "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" to the joyous freedom of "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," and "Song of the Open Road," Whitman"s work lives on, an inspiration to the poets of later generations.
从茫茫的人海中
Out of the Rolling Ocean the Crowd
从茫茫的人海中有一滴露珠款款走来,向我低语:
我爱你,不久我将会逝去,
走过千山万水,我只是想来看看你,抚摸你,
只要没有见到你,我不会离开这人间,
因为我怕会失去你。
此刻,我们已相见,我们凝视,我们欣慰,
我的爱,快回到宁静的海域,
要记得我也是海洋的一部分,
我们还不至于远远地分离,
看看这浩渺的宇宙,万物的凝合,尽善尽美!
但是那力量无边的大海就要把你我分离,
可即使分离,也只是短暂的一瞬,而不是残酷的永别,
要有点耐心,只一小会儿,
你就会知道我向天空、海洋和陆地敬礼,
在每天的日落时分,这全都是,为了你。 (查看原文)
“I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or
wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again,
I am to see to it that I do not lose you.”
