2. Original text of "In me, past, present and future"
In me, past, present, future meet, in me, past, present and future
< p>To hold long chiding conference. Discussion gatherings are full of disagreements.My lusts usurp the present tense All kinds of desires, plundering my present
And strangle Reason in his seat. Kill "reason" on its throne
< p>My loves leap through the future's fence My loves leap through the future's fenceTo dance with dream-enfranchised feet. Dream-enfranchised feet dance non-stop
In me the cave-man clasps the seer, And garlanded Apollo goes Chanting to Abraham's deaf ear. The deaf ears sing and sing.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble, since there your elements assemble. The original appearance.
2. Appreciation of the translation
“In me the tiger sniffs the rose.” This is an immortal aphorism once written by the British poet Sigreve Sassoon. Mr. Yu Guangzhong will He translated it as "If you have a tiger in your heart, you can smell the roses." This means that human nature has two sides, and the two opposite human natures are reconciled.
The human heart is also the two-sided entity of a tiger and a rose. Without the rose, it will inevitably become reckless and vulgar; without the tiger, it will inevitably become cowardly and lose its courage.
Of course, the strength and weakness of the tiger and the rose in everyone's heart are also different. Some people's hearts are originally a tiger's den, and the few roses at the entrance of the hole are inevitably trampled by the tigers; some people's hearts are originally a garden, and the tigers in the garden are inevitably intoxicated by the fragrance. Therefore, the temperament of the former is almost masculine, while the temperament of the latter is almost feminine. However, the crushed rose can still bloom, and the drunk tiger sometimes wakes up.
The artistic conception of a tiger sniffing a rose is the most appropriate way to express the delicacy of love. No matter what kind of person you are, as long as you have love in your heart, you will become very gentle, tiptoeing, approaching the beauty cautiously, for fear of being frightened and falling off the morning dew on the stamens.
