Love’s Omnipresence 
 
Joshua Sylvester

爱情是永恒的话题，舒婷的《致橡树》细腻的表达了东方女人的情感，今天，我们看一首同样是为爱而作的小诗，别样风格。


WERE I as base as is the lowly plain,
And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain
Ascend to heaven, in honour of my Love.

Were I as high as heaven above the plain,
And you, my Love, as humble and as low
As are the deepest bottoms of the main,
Whereso’er you were, with you my love should go.

Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
My love should shine on you like to the sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes
Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.

Whereso’er I am, below, or else above you,
Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.

爱，无所不至

乔舒亚·塞尔维斯特

即使我是低低的平原，
即使你是高高的蓝天，
我谦恭的心也会向上升腾，
来表达我对你这情人的眷恋。

即使我是蓝天俯瞰平原，
即使我的爱人你卑微低贱，
无论你在何处，我的爱都会追随，

哪怕你是大海底部的深渊。
即使你是大地我是蓝天，
我的爱会像太阳为你闪耀光焰，
用千万只眼睛把你注视，
直到世界崩毁，天塌地陷。

不论我在何处，与你相隔多远，
不论你在何处，我真心爱你永无改变。
