The Ghost, by Josef Mandl (1874-1933)

墓地亡灵.

「那就研读我，你们，在下个世界，
也就是，在下个春季恋爱的人们：
因为我是每一具供爱神
实验过新式炼金术的死躯壳。
他的技艺竟至于
从虚无，从萧条匮乏，和贫瘠空虚，
压榨提炼出一种纯粹的元素：
他毁弃了我，我又再次化生自
空无、黑暗、死亡，不存在的东西。

别的人，都从万物中，汲取精华，
生命、灵魂、形神，从而得生存；
我，经爱情蒸馏，则变成
一切的坟墓，即虚无。我们俩
常哭出洪水来，就这样
淹没了全世界，我们俩；我们每当
对身外之事表示关心时，就往往
变成两团混沌；离别每每
抽出灵魂，把我们变成尸骸。」

—— [英] 约翰·但恩 <夜祷，作于圣露西节，白昼最短的一日 A Nocturnall upon S. Lucies Day, being the shortest day>

Study me then, you who shall lovers bee
At the next world, that is, at the next Spring:
For I am every dead thing,
In whom love wrought new Alchimie.
For his art did expresse
A quintessence even from nothingnesse,
From dull privations, and leane emptinesse:
He ruin'd mee, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darknesse, death; things which are not.

All others, from all things, draw all that's good,
Life, soule, forme, spirit, whence they beeing have;　
I, by loves limbecke, am the grave
Of all, that's nothing. Oft a flood
Have wee two wept, and so
Drownd the whole world, us two; oft did we grow
To be two Chaosses, when we did show
Care to ought else; and often absences
Withdrew our soules, and made us carcasses.

#哈利波特魔法觉醒[超话]# 《哈利波特与混血王子》
One spring afternoon I discovered a bowl on my desk, with just a few inches of clear water in it.
那是在一个春天的下午，我发现桌上多了一个碗，里面的水很浅，只有几英寸高。
And floating on the surface was a flower petal.
水面上浮着一片花瓣。
As I watched,it sank.
在我的注视下，花瓣慢慢沉下。
Just before it reached the bottom,It transformed, into a wee fish.
在它沉到底之前，变成了一条小鱼。
It was beatiful magic, wondrous to behold.
真是美妙的魔法，令人叹为观止。
The flower petal had come from a lily
那片花瓣来自一朵百合花
Your mother.
你的母亲。

I once had a fish. Francis. He was very dear to me. One afternoon I came downstairs, and he’d vanished. Poof.
It was a student who gave me Francis.
One spring afternoon I discovered a bowl on my desk with just a few inches of clear water in it.
And floating on the surface was a flower petal.
As I watched, it sank.
Just before it reached the bottom, it transformed into a wee fish.
It was beautiful magic.
Wondrous to behold.
The flower petal had come form a lily.
Your mother.
The day I came downstairs,the day the bowl was empty, was the day your mother…
