Sense Of Something Coming

by Rainer Maria Rilke

I am like a flag in the center of open space.
I sense ahead the wind which is coming, and must live 
it through.

while the things of the world still do not move:
the doors still close softly, and the chimneys are full 
of silence,
the windows do not rattle yet, and the dust still lies down.
I already know the storm, and I am troubled as the sea.
I leap out, and fall back,
and throw myself out, and am absolutely alone 
in the great storm.

就要来了

我像是一面旗帜 挺立在旷野的中心
我知道风要来了  而我必须
要去面对

当所有的一切都还巍然不动：
门依旧悄然闭合 烟囱的烟气寂然地
直直向上
窗户还没有咯咯作响 尘埃保持着落定的姿态
可是我已经知道了 暴风雨就要来临
被这种预知所困扰 我翻腾如海
我跳起 又落回
我把自己抛了出去 直到剩下孤单单的一个自己
飘摇在那巨大的风暴之中
