A Dream Within A Dream
Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


梦中之梦
埃德加·爱伦·坡

让这吻落在眉头！
在 离别你的此刻，
不得不说——
你没有错，你说
我所历经恰似黄粱一梦；
若希望已飞逝，
在黑夜，或在白昼，
在幻境，或在虚芜，
失去会否因此渺小？
凡我们所见所感，
不过一场梦中之梦。

我伫立在波涛汹涌的岸边，
海浪咆哮，
手心里握着
金色沙粒——
那么稀少！在指隙间仓促流过，
如我的眼泪淌落，淌落！
上帝啊！为何我竟不能
将其紧握？
上帝啊！为何我竟不能
自无情浪涛中挽存一颗？
是否我们所见所感，
皆如梦如幻如泡影？

MJ生日快乐。Long Live Our Dearest Greatest King of Pop!

往年今日，如果有天不再记得，如果有天成为梦中一梦——
无论美梦，或是噩梦，只但愿我能坦然承受。

May God Blessing...
