I　FEEL

　　——by Elizabeth Jennings

　　I feel I could be turned to ice

　　If this goes on,if this goes on.

　　I feel I could be buried twice

　　And still the death not yet be done.

　　I feel I could be turned to fire

　　If there can be no end to this.

　　I know within me such desire

　　No kiss could satisfy¹, no kiss.

　　I feel I could be turned to stone,

　　A solid² block not carved at all,

　　Becausee I feel so much alone.

　　I could be grave-stone or a wall.

　　But better to be turned to earth

　　Where other things at least can grow.

　　I could be then a part of birth,

　　Passive,not knowing how to know.

　　我感觉

　　英国女诗人:伊丽莎白.詹宁斯

　　我感觉我会变成冰霜,

　　如果长此以往,长此以往.

　　我感觉我能被两次埋葬,

　　然而仍然没有完全死亡.

　　我感觉我会变成烈火,

　　如果这种情形没有止尽.

　　我知道我心中欲望很多,

　　没有亲吻能够满足,没有亲吻.

　　我感觉我会变成顽石,

　　结实的一大块未经雕琢,

　　因为我感觉如此孤寂.

　　墓碑和墙垣都可能是我.

　　但再好莫若变成大地,

　　能让万物生长,这是至少.

　　然后我还能参与生育,

　　被动,不知怎样去知道.
