They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead;
They brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed;
I wept, as I remembered, how often you and I
Had tired the sun with talking, and sent him down the sky.
And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian guest,
A handful of grey ashes, long, long ago at rest,
Still are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake;
For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.
A. W. Mair's 的英译本供参考：
One told me, Heracleitus, of thy death and
brought me to tears, and I remembered how often we two in talking put the
sun to rest. Thou, methinks, Halicarnasian friend, art ashes long and long
ago; but thy nightingales live still, whereon Hades, snatcher of all
things, shall not lay his hand.作者: 木头 时间: 2009-3-14 22:51 1#Hermes
