未来，从不言语——
也不会像一个哑人——
以手势传达一个音节
透露它将来临的深意——
然而当消息成熟——
它以行动呈现——
防止预先准备——
逃避，或替代——
嫁妆之于他——
无关紧要，就像厄运——
他的职责是给命运
发去他的电报——
The Future—never spoke—
Nor will He—like the Dumb—
Reveal by sign—a syllable
Of His Profound To Come—
But when the News be ripe—
Presents it—in the Act—
Forestalling Preparation—
Escape—or Substitute—
Indifferent to Him—
The Dower—as the Doom—
His Office—but to execute
Fate’s—Telegram—to Him—
