World, world, I cannot get thee close enough! Long have I known a glory in it all, But never knew like this; Here such a pattern is As stretcheth me apart. Lord, I do fear Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year: My soul is all but out of me---let fall No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.

  • -- Edna St. Vincent Millay 埃德娜·圣文森特·米莱

世界呀,世界呀,我离你太近了!我早就知道这一切的光荣,但从来没有像现在这样知道;在这里,这样的图案把我拉开了。主啊,我真怕你今年把世界弄得太美了。求你,不要让鸟叫。
