《斷章》   卞之琳

你站在橋上看風景

看風景的人在樓上看你

 

明月裝飾了你的窗子

你裝飾了別人的夢

 

《錯誤》節錄  鄭予愁

我達達的馬碲是美麗的錯誤

 我不是歸人，是個過客…

 

《一代人》   顧城

黑夜給了我黑色的眼睛

我卻用它尋找光明

 

When you are old  W.B.Yeats 
《當你老了》葉慈

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
當你老了, 頭白了, 睡思昏沉
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
爐火旁打盹, 請取下這部詩歌
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
慢慢讀, 回想你過去眼神的柔光
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
回想它們昔日濃重的陰影

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
多小人愛你青春歡暢的時辰
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
愛慕你的美麗, 假意或真心
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
只有一個愛你那朝聖者的靈魂
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
愛你衰老了的臉上痛苦的皺紋

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
垂下頭來, 狂紅光閃耀的爐子旁
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
淒然地輕輕訴說那愛情的消逝
And paced upon the mountains overhead
在頭頂的山上它緩緩踱著步子
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
在一群星星中間隱藏著臉龐

《哀愁》節錄   繆塞

上帝垂詢，必須稟告。
我留有的唯一至寶
乃是有時流過眼淚。
