Dying Speech of an Old Philosopher (老哲学家临终之言)

I strove with none, for none was worth my strife;
Nature I loved, and, next to Nature, Art;
I warm’d both hands before the fire of Life;
It sinks; and I am ready to depart.

～ Walter Savage Landor


我和谁都不争, 和谁我都不屑；
我爱大自然, 其次就是艺术；
我双手烤着生命之火取暖；
火萎了, 我也准备走了。

～ 兰德 (英)  杨绛 (译)
