《那些人感受不到這種愛》/魯米

來自專欄 魯米的詩

那些人感受不到這種愛

像黃河那樣奔流，澎湃。

那些人看不到黎明就像

青春之水，落日像晚宴，

那些人不願意作出改變，

那就讓他們

繼續昏睡吧。

這種愛遠非神學，老把戲和偽善

所能明白，若你想走上那條歪路，

那繼續

昏睡吧。

我已不再用頭腦思考，

我把衣服都撕碎丟棄。

如果你不能坦露內心，

那就用美言當作外衣，

然後

昏睡。

肖林振/譯

Ode 314

Those who dont feel this Love

pulling them like a river,

those who dont drink dawn

like a cup of spring water

or take in sunset like supper,

those who dont want to change,

let them sleep.

This Love is beyond the study of theology,

that old trickery and hypocrisy.

I you want to improve your mind that way,

sleep on.

Ive given up on my brain.

Ive torn the cloth to shreds

and thrown it away.

If youre not completely naked,

wrap your beautiful robe of words

around you,

and sleep.

"Like This" Coleman Barks, Maypop, 1990
