涅槃

通过梦的海洋和幻想的海洋,通过孤独和空虚的海洋,通过我的自我,海洋的最深处,我向你——涅槃努力。哦,很久以前,感性的激流,被激情的狂风所激起,把我从深渊冲到高度,但不是你,涅槃。被海浪扫过,我学会了驾驭海浪。我服侍我的主人,直到把他们变成奴隶。我躲在死神的坟墓里,他的水汪汪的坟墓里,涅槃。有一次,我爬上一座山的石冠,站着,不笑,不皱眉,不吃,不喝,不睡,也不摇摇晃晃,五天五夜,涅槃。日出,正午,日落,奇怪的夜晚,大云的阴影,微弱的星光,以及笼罩在高处的孤独的恐惧,我不在乎,涅槃。沉默像矛一样刺痛着我的灵魂。我赤裸的思想,如利剑般磨砺,穿越时间、生命、肉体和死亡,扫清通往涅槃的道路。我消灭了在州与州之间挑起长期种族战争的种族仇恨。 I stood and scorned these foolish dead debates, Calmly, calmly, Nirvana. I smote away the filmy base of Caste. I thrust through antique blood and riches vast, And all big claims of the pretentious Past That hindered my Nirvana. Then all fair types, of form and sound and hue, Up-floated round my sense and charmed anew. -- I waved them back into the void blue: I love them not, Nirvana. And all outrageous ugliness of time, Excess and Blasphemy and squinting Crime Beset me, but I kept my calm sublime: I hate them not, Nirvana. High on the topmost thrilling of the surge I saw, afar, two hosts to battle urge. The widows of the victors sang a dirge, But I wept not, Nirvana. I saw two lovers sitting on a star. He kissed her lip, she kissed his battle-scar. They quarrelled soon, and went two ways, afar. O Life! I laughed, Nirvana. And never a king but had some king above, And never a law to right the wrongs of Love, And ever a fanged snake beneath a dove, Saw I on earth, Nirvana. But I, with kingship over kings, am free. I love not, hate not: right and wrong agree: And fangs of snakes and lures of doves to me Are vain, are vain, Nirvana. So by mine inner contemplation long, By thoughts that need no speech nor oath nor song, My spirit soars above the motley throng Of days and nights, Nirvana. O Suns, O Rains, O Day and Night, O Chance, O Time besprent with seven-hued circumstance, I float above ye all into the trance That draws me nigh Nirvana. Gods of small worlds, ye little Deities Of humble Heavens under my large skies, And Governor-Spirits, all, I rise, I rise, I rise into Nirvana. The storms of Self below me rage and die. On the still bosom of mine ecstasy, A lotus on a lake of balm, I lie Forever in Nirvana.
