Leda and the Swan
|
麗達與天鵝
|
| A sudden blow：the great wings beating still |
突然一擊：在踉蹌的少女身上 |
| Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed |
那巨翅仍在亂撲，黑色的腳蹼撫摩著 |
| By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, |
她的腿，他的喙銜著她的脖頸， |
| He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. |
用胸膛壓住她無助的身體。 |
| How can those terrified vague fingers push |
被驚呆的手指，哪還有力 |
| The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? |
從松開的腿間推開那白羽？ |
| And how can body, laid in that white rush, |
翻倒在燈芯草里的身體 |
| But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? |
怎樣感覺著他的奇異的心跳？ |
| A shudder in the loins engenders there |
從腰股間的顫抖，竟生出 |
| The broken wall, the burning roof and tower |
斷墻、殘塔，漫天烈焰 |
| And Agamemnon dead. |
與阿伽門農之死。 |
| Being so caught up, |
當她被占有時， |
| So mastered by the brute blood of air, |
被云中的野蠻熱血俘獲時， |
| Did she put on his knowledge with his power |
她得了他的力量，是否也得了他的知識， |
| Before the indifferent beak could let her drop? |
在那漠然的喙放開她之前？ |
