I am not yours, Sara Teasdale
I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love—put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.
我不是你的 萨拉·蒂斯代尔
我不是你的,不是沉迷于你 不是沉迷,尽管我渴望如此 如一只蜡烛在正午燃亮 如一片雪花在海里优雅 (另译:如一片雪花沉迷于大海)
你爱我,而我发现了你 依旧美丽又闪亮的心灵 但我就是我,渴望着如此 如一束光沉迷在光里
噢,投我坠入爱河——熄灭了 我的理性,留下聋而盲的我 被你爱的暴风雨摇摆着 在呼啸的风中减弱。。。。。 消失。。。。。。 (最后两句另译:被你爱的暴风雨席卷着 亦如疾风中的烛芯)

A taper in a rushing wind. 疾风中的一点烛花。

作者简介: Sara Trevor Teasdale was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1884, into an old, established, and devout family. She was homeschooled until she was nine and traveled frequently to Chicago, where she became part of the circle surrounding Poetry magazine and Harriet Monroe. Teasdale published Sonnets to Duse, and Other Poems, her first volume of verse, in 1907. Her second collection, Helen of Troy, and Other Poems, followed in 1911, and her third, Rivers to the Sea, in 1915. In 1914 Teasdale married Ernst Filsinger; she had previously rejected a number of other suitors, including Vachel Lindsay. She moved with her new husband to New York City in 1916. In 1918, she won the Columbia University Poetry Society Prize (which became the Pulitzer Prize for poetry) and the Poetry Society of America Prize for Love Songs, which had appeared in 1917. She published three more volumes of poetry during her lifetime: Flame and Shadow (1920), Dark of the Moon (1926), and Stars To-night (1930). Teasdale's work had always been characterized by its simplicity and clarity, her use of classical forms, and her passionate and romantic subject matter. These later books trace her growing finesse and poetic subtlety. She divorced in 1929 and lived the rest of her life as a semi-invalid. Weakened after a difficult bout with pneumonia, Teasdale committed suicide in 1933 with an overdose of barbiturates. Her final collection, Strange Victory appeared posthumously that same year.
