103　丽达与天鹅|103. Leda and the Swan

叶芝[1]

——W. B. Yeats

猛地一扑：一对巨翼降落少女头顶，

A sudden blow: the great wings beating still

使她踉踉跄跄站立不稳，黑色的蹼

Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed

抚弄她的大腿，鹅喙衔住她的脖颈，

By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,

那天鹅的胸脯已紧紧压住她的胸脯。

He hold her helpless breast upon his breast.

她那双因惊恐而僵硬的手怎能从

How can those terrified vague fingers push

松开的腿间推开白羽赋予的荣耀？

The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?

她的身体倒在雪白的灯心草丛中，

And how can body, laid in that white rush,

怎会感觉不到那不可思议的心跳？

But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

股间的一阵震颤，居然由此导致

A shudder in the loins engenders there

城墙的倒塌，楼宇被烈火焚毁，以及

The broken wall, the burning roof and tower

阿伽门农的死亡[2]。她如此被霸占，

And Agamemnon dead. Being so caught up.

被来自空中的鲁莽的血所挟制，

So mastered by the brute blood of the air,

当那冷漠的鹅喙终于放开她时，

Did she put on his knowledge with his power

她是否拥有了他的知识和力量？

Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
