When I lingered among my hoarded treasure I felt like a worm that feeds in the dark upon the fruit where it was born.
I leave this prison of decay.
I care not to haunt the mouldy stillness, for I go in search of
everlasting youth; I throw away all that is not one with my life nor as light as my laughter.
I run through time and, O my heart, in your chariot dances the poet who sings while he wanders.
当我在珍藏的财宝中徘徊时,我觉得我仿佛是一条出生在果实里的蠕虫,在黑暗中咬噬着果子喂养自己。
我丢弃了这腐烂的牢狱。
我不愿经常出没在这发霉的静止中,我要去寻找永存的青春;凡是和我的生活不一致的,凡是不像我的笑声那么欢快的,我都将它完全抛弃。
我与时间奔跑,啊,心儿啊!在你的战车中,高歌漫游的诗人在舞蹈。
