约翰济慈,出生于18世纪末年的伦敦,他是杰出的英诗作家之一,也是浪漫派的主要成员济慈诗才华横溢,与雪莱、拜伦齐名。他年仅25岁,可是他遗下的诗篇一直誉满人间,被认为完美地体现了西方浪漫主义诗歌的特色,并被推崇为欧洲浪漫主义运动的杰出代表。

Bright Star—— John Keats
灿烂的星
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And Watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No-yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
灿烂的星!我祈求象你那样坚定
但我不愿意高悬夜空,独自辉映
并且永恒地睁着眼睛,
象自然间耐心的、不眠的隐士,
不断望着海滔,那大地的神父,
用圣水冲洗人所卜居的岸沿,
或者注视飘飞的白雪,象面幕,
灿烂、轻盈,覆盖着洼地和高山
呵,不,我只愿坚定不移地
以头枕在爱人酥软的胸脯上,
永远感到它舒缓地降落、升起;
而醒来,心里充满甜蜜的激荡,
不断,不断听着她细腻的呼吸,
就这样活着,——或昏迷地死去。
《每当我害怕》为济慈所作的一首诗歌。这是济慈的第一首伊丽莎白体十四行诗,创作于1818年,济慈当时只有23岁。他患肺结核的弟弟在1819年去世,济慈因为日夜照看弟弟,也染上了结核病,年仅26岁,这位才华横溢的浪漫主义诗人便与世长辞了。据称,济慈写这首诗时,已经知道自己患有肺病。
When I have fears
每当我害怕
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;–then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
每当我害怕,生命也许等不及
我的笔搜集完我蓬勃的思潮,
等不及高高一堆书,在文字里,
象丰富的谷仓,把熟谷子收好;
每当我在繁星的夜幕上看见
传奇故事的巨大的云雾征象,
而且想,我或许活不到那一天,
以偶然的神笔描出它的幻相;
每当我感觉,呵,瞬息的美人!
我也许永远都不会再看到你,
不会再陶醉于无忧的爱情
和它的魅力!——于是,在这广大的
世界的岸沿,我独自站定、沉思,
直到爱情、声名,都没入虚无里。
