"To Madame de Chatelet"
If you still want me to love you,
please give me the age of love;
< p>If possible, let my fading dusk turn into a vibrant dawn.The wonderful country enjoyed by Dionysus and Love is no longer with me,
Time holds my hand and tells me,
I should retire to Linquan.
Let us learn some useful lessons from the irresistibility of time
Whoever’s mind demands age unreasonably,
< p>Whoever is bound to suffer great misfortune.Let us leave this fun of playing
to the graceful young people,
We only live for two periods of time,
< p>Let some time be left to Mingzhe.What! Tenderness, fantasy, madness
You will abandon me forever,
God’s gift, you only use the bitterness of life as a gift to me The consolation!
People die twice, I see clearly:
To stop loving and to stop being loved,
This is an unbearable death;
It is more painful than no longer living.
I regret the loss
The recklessness and mistakes in my early years;
My soul that is open to all kinds of desires.
I regret my madness that day.
Friendship fell from the sky with pity,
came to the world to help me;
It is probably also full of tenderness,
But it can’t compare to the madness of love.
I am soothed by its charm,
bathed in its brilliant brilliance,
I am following it diligently,
But I cried because I could only follow it anymore.
