《万物都有两个终点》 by 简·赫希菲尔德

万物都有两个终点   林木译

—— 简·赫希菲尔德

 

每件事物都有两个终点——

一匹马，一根绳子，一通电话。

 

在生命之前，空气。

接着在之后。

 

正如寂静并非寂静，而是听觉的极限。

 

Everything Has Two Endings

Jane Hirshfield

 

Everything has two endings—

a horse, a piece of string, a phone call.

 

Before a life, air.

And after.

 

As silence is not silence, but a limit of hearing.
