W. B. Yeats - News for the Delphic Oracle (III) 汉译

Slim adolescence that a nymph has stripped,

Peleus on Thetis stares.

Her limbs are delicate as an eyelid,

Love has blinded him with tears;

But Thetis’ belly listens.

Down the mountain walls

From where Pan’s cavern is

Intolerable music falls.

Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,

Belly, shoulder, bum,

Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs

Copulate in the foam.

作为德尔斐神谕的消息（三）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

被一个水中仙女剥光衣服的苗条少年，

珀琉斯对忒提斯凝眸注目，

她的四肢象眼皮一样娇嫩，

爱情用泪水已使他盲目。

但是忒提斯的肚子倾听着。

从潘的洞穴所在之处

到山崖峭壁之下，

飘落着难以忍受的音乐之瀑。

丑陋的羊头、野兽的臂膊出现，

肚子、肩膀、屁股，

象鱼一样闪亮；山林仙女与半羊神们

在那水花里交媾。
