《荒原》的笔记-第47页 - 一

张子清 译本
烧毁了的诺顿
“尽管”逻各斯“对每个人来说都是普遍的法则，但多数人似乎却按照他们自己独特的法则生活。”
“上升的路和下降的路是同一条路” 赫拉克利特
现在的时间与过去的时间
两者也许存在于未来之中
而未来的时间却包含在过去里
如果一切时间永远是现在
一切时间都无法赎回
可能发生过的事是抽象的
永远是一种可能性
只存在于思索的世界里
可能发生过和已经发生的
指向一个目的始终是旨在现在
脚步声在记忆力回响
沿着我们没有走过的那条走廊
朝着我们从未打开过的那扇门
进入玫瑰园。我的话
就这样滴在你的心中回响
然而为何
在一盆玫瑰花的花瓣上搅得尘埃飞扬
我不知道
其余的回响
在玫瑰园里。我们将跟踪而去？
快，鸫鸟说，找它们，找它们
在附近。穿过第一道门，
进入我们的最初世界，我们是否听鸫鸟
的骗？进入我们的最初世界。
它们就在那里，端庄高贵，隐而不见
在枯叶的上方轻飘飘地移动
在秋热里，越过腾腾向上的空气
那鸟在啁啾鸣啭，回应
隐在灌木丛里我们听不见的美妙声音，
和我们看不见的扫来的目光，因为那玫瑰曾有过
我们现在看到的花容。
他们就在那里，作为我们的客人，被我们接待，
同时有接待我们
所以我们走动，他们也走动，以一种庄重的步态，
沿荒芜的小径，走近一圈黄杨树从，
俯视那干涸的水池。
干的水池，干的水泥，褐色的池边，
池子里却充满了阳光中流出来的水，
荷花静静地静静地拔高，
光明的中心流泻的光流，闪闪发光
他们在我们身后，倒映在池子之中。
一朵白云飘过池水消逝不见。
去吧，那鸟说，小孩们在树叶从里，
他们忍着笑，激动地藏在那里。
去，去，去，那鸟说：人类
难以接受太多的现实。
过去的时间和将来的时间
可能发生过的和已经发生过的
指向一个目的，始终是旨在现在。

《荒原》的笔记-二、 对弈 - 二、 对弈

在火光下，刷子下，她的头发
散成了火星似的小点子
亮成词句，然后又转而为野蛮的沉寂
"今晚我精神很坏。是的，坏。陪着我
跟我说话，为什么总不说话。说啊
我从来不知道你在想什么。想。"
”

And the deep lane insists on the direction
深巷固执地向村里伸展，在炙人的暑热中
