Mountain Talk
-----By A.R.Ammons
I was going along a dusty highroad
when the mountain
across the way
turned me to its silence:
oh i said how come
I don't know your
massive symmetry and rest:
nevertheless , said the mountain,
Would you want
to be
lodged here with
a changeless prospect , risen
to an unalterable view:
so i went on
counting my numberless finger.
山语
A·R·阿门斯
我走在尘土飞扬的大路上
路对面的山
以它的沉默吸引了我：
啊，我说我竟
不知你
这样雄伟、匀称、肃穆：
然而，山说
难道你就想呆在这儿
用不变的视野
观赏不变的风景：
于是，我继续走去
扳着手指计算，无尽无休。
