19# 宇宙之歌
1.
繆思說，來吧，
為我唱一首詩人不曾唱的歌曲，
為我唱出宇宙。
在廣闊無邊的地球裡，
無遠弗屆的廣大遼闊與火山熔渣裡，
種子安定塵封於地心之中，
盡善盡美地窩藏著。
每一場生命或多或少都是分享，
沒有出生，生命卻不請自來──無論掩埋暴露，種子都靜靜守候。
19 # Song of the Universal
1.
Come, said the Muse,
Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted,
Sing me the Universal.
In this broad Earth of ours,
Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,
Enclosed and safe within its central heart,
Nestles the seed Perfection.
By every life a share, or more or less,
None born but it is born–conceal’d or unconceal’d, the seed is waiting.
