Symbols by William Butler Yeats 象徵；其他多篇

三年前的疏忽：今天對照楊牧編譯的【葉慈詩選】(台北：洪範，1997/十印1998)，發現此詩的譯者應該是楊牧，參見第187頁。

為何會有此張冠李戴支線像呢？我可能誤引網路的資料而未查。特此更正。2017.8.23

Symbols by William Butler Yeats

A storm-beaten old watch-tower,
A blind hermit rings the hour.

All-destroying sword-blade still
Carried by the wandering fool.

Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
Beauty and fool together laid.

象徵


一座暴風雨摧折的老更樓，
一個瞎眼的隱遁者按時敲鐘。

所向無敵的劍鋒依舊
絭養的家臣流浪帶著。

劍鋒上金織的絲鏽覆著，
美人和家臣一起躺下臥著。
