介绍： Under Ben Bulben (excerpt)

William Butler Yeats

VI

Under bare Ben Bulben's head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by

在本布尔本山下（节选）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

第六章
在光秃秃的本布尔本山头下面，
叶芝躺于特拉姆克力夫墓地中间。
一个祖先曾是那里的教区长，
许多年之俞，一座教堂就在近旁，
在路旁，是一个古老的十字架，
没有大理石碑，也没有套话；
在附近采来的石灰石上，
是按他的指示刻下的字样：
对生活，对死亡
冷眼一瞥
骑士呵，向前！

感谢陪我读诗。

今天节选了叶芝的诗《在本布尔山下》，诗歌最后几句是叶芝的墓志铭：

对生活，对死亡
冷眼一瞥
骑士呵，向前！
