约翰.济慈
I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my life seems to stop there - I see no further. You have absorb’d me.
没有你我无法存活。我忘却了一切,只想着要与你再见。我的生命似乎就此终止,没有更远的未来。你占据了我的一切。
I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving ….I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shudder’d at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr’d for my religion - love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you. My creed is love and you are its only tenet - you have ravish’d me away by a power I cannot resist.
我有一种感觉,就在这一刻我似乎正在消融……我曾惊讶于有人会为宗教而牺牲,我曾一想到这就战栗不已。现在我不再为此战栗了。我也可以为我的宗教牺牲。爱就是我的宗教,我可以为它而死,我可以为你而死。我的信经就是爱,而你就是它唯一的信条。你用我无法抵抗的力量将我彻底摧毁。
