如果遇到我爱，我要把这首诗抄送给他。

《园丁集》的笔记-第48页

I was walking by the road. I do not know why.when the noonday was past and bamboo branches rustled in the wind.
The prone shadows with their outstretched arms clung to the feet of the hurrying light.
The koels were weary of their songs.
I was walking by the road.I do not know why.
Shadows are deepening and cattle returning to their folds.
The light is grey upon the lonely meadows. and the villagers are waiting for the ferry at the bank.
I slowly return upon my steps.I do not know why.

如果我坐在生命的岸边默想着死亡和来世，又有谁来编写他们的热情的诗歌呢？

《园丁集》的笔记-第41页

I long to speak the deepest words I have to say to you； but I dare not， for fear you should laugh.
That is why I laugh at myself and shatter my secret in jest.
I make light of my pain， afraid you should do so.
I long to tell you the truest words I have to say you； but I dare not， being afraid that you would not believe them.
That is why I disguise them in untruth， saying the contrary of what I mean.
I make my pain appear absurd， afraid that you should do so.
I long to use the most precious words I have for you； but I dare not， fearing I should not be paid with like value.
That is why I give you hard names and boast of my callous strength.
I hurt you， for fear you would never know any pain.
I long to sit silent by you； but I dare not lest my heart come out at my lips.
That is why I prattle and chatter lightly and hide my heart behind words.
I rudely handle my pain， for fear you should do so.
I long to go away from your side； but I dare not， for fear my cowardice should become known to you.
That is why I hold my head high and carelessly come into your presence.
Constant thrusts from your eyes keep my pain fresh for ever.

我把我的剑矛扔在尘土里。不要差遣我去遥远的宫廷；
不要命令我做新的征讨。只求您让我做花园里的园丁。
不做士兵式的仆人，却愿做园丁式的。
