As secondary (parts not quite perceived

Of the certain solid, the primary free from doubt,

Things floating like the first hundred flakes of snow

飘零的事物如最雪的几百片花絮，

Out of a storm we must endure all night,

从一场风暴脱落，一场琐碎事物的

Out of a storm of secondary things),

A horror of thoughts that suddenly are real.

The bright obvious stands motionless in cold.
