在我死去之前,生命已终结过两次——
却仍然无法确定
假如人能永生
是否还有第三次
如此强大,令人绝望的力量
曾两次降临于我。
不忍离别,我们无法抵达天堂,
必须离别,我们无法抗拒地狱。
My life closed twice before its close—
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me
So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
