《在自由和力量中飞翔》
沃尔特·惠特曼
我,不愿跟爱唱的小鸟争一个长短;
我渴望去那寥廓的天宇高高飞翔。
是雄鹰和海鸥深深打动了我的心,
那金丝雀和学舌鸟决不是我的理想。
我,不习惯用甜美的颤音柔声啼啭,
我要在自由、欢乐、力量和意志中
展翅翱翔。
附英文:
《To fly in freedom and power》
Walt Whitman
I have not so much emulated the birds that musically sing,
I have abandon'd myself to flights, broad circles.
The hawk, the seagull, have far more possess'd me than the canary or mocking-bird,
I have not felt to warble and trill, however sweetly,
I have felt to soar in freedom and in the fullness of power, joy, volition.
