The 10 short foreign poems are:
1. "When you are old" - Yeats
When you are old and your hair is gray , drowsy.
If you are napping by the fire, please take down this hymn.
Read slowly and recall the softness of your eyes in the past.
Think back to their former heavy shadows.
How many people love you when you are young and happy.
I admire your beauty, pretending or sincerely.
Only one loves your pilgrim soul.
Love the painful wrinkles on your aging face.
He lowered his head and stood next to the glowing red stove.
Sadly and quietly tell the disappearance of love.
On the mountain above it walked slowly.
The face is hidden among the stars.
2. "People live poetically"
If life is pure hard work.
People will look up to the sky and ask, is it me?
Asking too much to survive.
Yes.
As long as goodness and innocence remain with the human heart.
He will happily test himself against divinity.
God is unpredictable and unknowable.
God is as clear as the blue sky.
I would rather believe the latter.
This is the rule of man. Man is full of achievements.
But still poetically inhabiting this land.
I really want to prove it.
Even the bright starry sky is no purer than human beings.
Man is called the image of God.
There can be rules and regulations on the earth.
Absolutely not.
3. "Spring Dies" - Byron
If I could see you.
How can I congratulate you after so many years?
With tears, with silence.
4. "The soul chooses its own mate" - Dickinson
The soul chooses its own mate.
Then close the door tightly.
That extremely sacred determination.
No more interference.
The heart is unmoved.
Even if a fancy car welcomes you.
In front of Pengmen.
The heart is unmoved.
Even if the emperor kneels down personally.
On the doormat.
No matter how weak the water is.
Take only one scoop.
Then there is nothing else to think about.
The rock enters concentration.
5. "Shadow" - Marin Sorescu
If our shadow.
Also possesses five senses.
We live with two hearts at the same time.
What a wonderful thing that would be.
Yes, from us to the shadow.
It’s a long one.
Abstract process.
All our indifference.
Reaching in the shadows.
Some people.
Live only by your own shadow.
Not even using the whole shadow.
But sequentially, sometimes with one hand.
Sometimes one eye is used.
6. "I live with light" - Adonis
I live with light.
My life is a wisp of fragrance.
My second lasts forever.
I am obsessed with the folk songs of my motherland.
It is sung by the shepherd boy like in the morning.
They threw their songs to the sun, like a piece of pure dawn.
Accompanied by singing, they prayed and died.
If death laughs on your lips.
Life, crying because of missing you.
7. "Limitations" - Borges
There is a line of Verlaine's poetry that I can no longer remember.
There is an adjoining street that I can no longer enter.
There was a mirror, and I looked at it for the last time.
There is a door, and I will close it until the end of the world comes.
There is a book in my library.
I won't open them again - I'm looking at them.
This summer I will be fifty years old.
Keep wearing me down, Death.
8. "Heavy Moments" - Rilke
Who is crying somewhere in the world at this moment.
Crying in the world for no reason.
Cry me.
Who is laughing somewhere in the night at this moment.
Laughing at night for no reason.
Laugh at me.
Who is walking somewhere in the world right now.
Walking through the world for no reason.
Come to me.
Who is dying somewhere in the world right now.
To die in this world for no reason.
Looking at me.
9. "If life deceives you" - Pushkin
If life deceives you.
Don’t be sad, don’t be impatient.
Calm is needed on melancholy days.
Believe it, happy days will come.
Xin'er is always looking forward to the future.
Now I am often depressed.
Everything is fleeting and everything will pass.
And what has passed will become a dear memory.
10. "Anointing of Fire" - Transtr?m
Gloomy days and your love.
There was a spark in my life.
Like a firefly lighting up, going out, lighting up, going out.
——You can vaguely keep up.
Their movements through the olive groves in the dark.
On gloomy days, the soul curls up and withers.
But the body walks straight towards you.
The night sky mooed.
We milk the universe to survive.
