To all those driven berserk or humanized by love
所有因爱而疯狂、因爱获得人性的人,
this is offered, for I need help
请接受这首献诗——因为我需要
deciphering my dream.
有人帮助我释梦。
When we love our lord is LOVE.
当我们爱时,我们的主就是爱。
When I recall that at the fourth hour
每当我想起,在夜晚的
of the night, watched by shining stars,
第四时辰,在闪光的星辰注视下,
LOVE at last became incarnate,
爱,如何化成肉身,
the memory is horror.
那便是恐惧。
In his hands smiling LOVE held my burning
微笑的爱,用他的手攥住我燃烧的
heart, and in his arms, the body whose greeting
心,在他的臂弯里,那具身体——用迎侯
pierces my soul, now wrapped in bloodred, sleeping.
穿刺我的灵魂——如今在血泊中沉睡。
He made him wake. He ordered him to eat
my heart. He ate my burning heart. He ate it
他令他醒来。他命令他食用
submissively, as if afraid as LOVE wept.
我的心。他吞噬我燃烧的心。他吃掉它,
顺从地,唯恐爱的哭泣。
