詩歌:感懷蝸牛從容中的激情

        感懷蝸牛從容中的激情

                   by Thom Gunn

        The snail pushes through a green
           night, for the grass is heavy
           with water and meets over
           the bright path he makes, where rain
           has darkened the earth's dark. He
           moves in a wood of desire,
           pale antlers barely stirring
           as he hunts. I cannot tell
           what power is at work, drenched there
           with purpose, knowing nothing.
           What is a snail's fury? All
           I think is that if later
           I parted the blades above
           the tunnel and saw the thin
           trail of broken white across
           litter, I would never have
           imagined the slow passion
           to that deliberate progress.

            蝸牛感懷



           蝸牛用觸角推進墨綠色的
           夜晚,因爲草葉上溼漉漉
           沾滿水珠,耷拉着交織在
           它推出的明亮小徑,雨在上面
           使大地的昏暗更加昏暗。它
           在慾望之林中緩緩蠕動。

        它捕食時,蒼白的觸角
           幾乎不動。我無法說出
           什麼力量起作用,在那裏
           浸透於百思不解的思緒中。
           蝸牛的憤懣何在?我僅僅
           這樣遐想:即使稍後一些時候

        我撥開蝸牛爬過的路上的葉片,
           但見它留下的細細痕跡
           粘着破碎的白色微粒,穿過
           垃圾碎屑,那我也難以想像
           伴隨它從容前進的
           徐遲緩慢的激情。
