倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡，
我应该学会仰望空荡的天空，
同时感受天空一片漆黑的崇高，
虽然这样可能要花费一点时间。
The More Loving One
W.H.Auden
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference 1 is the least
We have to dread 2 from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them ,say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime 3,
Though this might take me a little time.
