按禪境的比例，一架小秤

For Zen, a small scale

稱著光線中的塵埃

weighing dustmotes in a sunbeam,

以及塵埃中意義過重的重量

their meaning much too dense

粒粒細小的珍珠，經

Grainlike pearls, touched

金色瞳仁姑娘的觸摸

by a gold-eyed girl,

帶來更為細小的光亮

yield purer luster

以此提煉數，教數

to sift song from numbers

學會歌——至多晚，至多久

and now or then

抵達維米爾的光

in Vermeer’s light assemble,

從未言說，因此是至美

too fine to speak of
