堂堂柱廊，我曾长期住在其中，

I've lived beneath huge portals where marine

海的阳光给它涂上火色斑斑，

Suns coloured, with a myriad fires, the waves;

那些巨大的石柱挺拔而庄严，

At eve majestic pillars made the scene

晚上使柱廊就象那玄武岩洞。

Resemble those of vast basaltic caves.

海的涌浪滚动着天上的形象，

The breakers, rolling the reflected skies,

以隆重而神秘的方式混合着

Mixed, in a solemn, enigmatic way,

它们丰富的音乐之至上和谐

The powerful symphonies they seem to play

与我眼中反射出的多彩夕阳。

With colours of the sunset in my eyes.

那里，我在平静的快乐中悠游，

There did I live in a voluptuous calm

周围是蓝天、海浪、色彩的壮丽，

Where breezes, waves, and splendours roved as vagrants;

和浑身散发香气的裸体奴隶，

And naked slaves, impregnated with fragrance,

他们用棕榈叶凉爽我的额头，

Would fan my forehead with their fronds of palm:

他们唯一的关心是深入探悉

Their only charge was to increase the anguish

使我萎靡的那种痛苦的秘密。

Of secret grief in which I loved to languish.
