Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?
Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Men from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!
It is intriguing 1 to read this poem as a yearn 2 for the joy of day that will relieve us from the perpetual darkness. To interpret something so magnificent as a morning or a day, would she have to become bigger, or as she puts it, a mountain? With no sensory 3 experience of the day, she is forced to use childish language and concepts, attempting to appreciate something she could never understand. Further on in the poem, she is kindly 4 asking the best knowledgeable 5 scholars, the most daring adventurers and the wisest men to locate morning on one of their carefully constructed maps. We are all pilgrims on a journey to find the true meaning or purpose to our lives.
是否真有“黎明”？
是否真有“白天”？
我能否从山上看见
假如我高及山巅？
它是否像睡莲有根须？
它是否像鸟儿有羽毛？
它是否来自闻名国度
此前我未曾听人提到？
啊，哪位学者！啊，哪位水手！
啊，哪位天上的贤明！
请告诉一位小小的朝圣者
哪里有个地方叫“黎明”！
