W. B. Yeats - Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen (II) 汉译

When Loie Fuller's Chinese dancers enwound

A shining web, a floating ribbon of cloth,

It seemed that a dragon of air

Had fallen among dancers, had whirled them round

Or hurried them off on its own furious path;

So the Platonic Year

Whirls out new right and wrong,

Whirls in the old instead;

All men are dancers and their tread

Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.

1919年（二）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

当洛伊•富勒的中国舞蹈家缠绕出

一张闪光的网，一条飘扬的绸带时，

就好象一条飞龙自云间

堕入舞蹈者中间，把她们卷起旋舞

或把她们赶上它自己的狂暴的路子：

就这样柏拉图年

卷出新的是与非，

而把旧的卷入；

人人都是舞蹈者，他们的舞步

踩踏着一面铜锣的野蛮的铿锵节拍。
