Seeking

★ Seeking ☆ Poetry by Ada Cambridge Bright eyes, sweet lips, with sudden fevers fill My strong blood, running wildly, as it must; But lips and eyes too soon beget distrust. A soft touch sends a momentary thrill Through sense unsubservient to the will; But warm caresses leave a dim disgust; Like Dead- Sea apples, kisses turn to dust. I kiss; I feast; but I am hungry still. O, where is She — that straight and upright soul — True friend, true mate, true woman — where is She? True heart — as true as needle to the pole — True to the truth, not only true to me — Worth all I have to give — the best — the whole. When shall these eyes Her unknown beauty see? ▲ Chinese Translation ★ 追求 ☆ [澳大利亚] 阿达•剑桥（1844-1926） 诗 ☆ [中国] 罗志海 (1954-) 译 明亮的眼睛，甜美的嘴唇，突然脸红耳赤 我热血沸腾，不得不疯狂奔跑 嘴唇和眼睛瞬息怀疑 柔软的触摸，触电的战栗 感觉到不屈的意志 温暖的爱抚驱走昏暗的厌恶 就像死海的苹果，一吻化为尘土 我吻，我大快朵颐。但我还空着肚子 哦，她在哪里——那笔直挺拔的灵魂？ 真正的朋友，真正的伴侣，真正的女人¬——她在哪里？ 真正的心脏，比杆子还真实的针 真正的真理，不仅仅真正对我而已 值得付出我所有最好的，全部的 何时亲眼见到她不可名状的美丽 2015年4月26日翻译 On April 26,2015, Translation
