Apples
Gillian Clarke
They fill with heat, dewfall, a night of rain.
In a week they have reddened, the seed gone black
in each star-heart. Soft thud of fruit
in the deepening heat of the day.
Out of the delicate petals1 of secret skin
and that irreversible moment when the fruit set,
such a hard harvest, so cold and sharp on the tongue.
They look up from the grass, too many to save.
A lapful of windfalls with worms in their hearts,
under my thumb the pulse of original sin,
flesh going brown as the skin curls over my knife.
I drown them in water and wine, pushing them under,
then breathe apples simmering in sugar and spice,
fermenting under the tree in sacs of juice
so swollen2 they'd burst under a wasp's foot.

My Heart Leaps Up 我心雀躍
My heart leaps up when I behold 當(dāng)天邊彩虹映入眼簾，
A rainbow in the sky: 我心為之雀躍;
So was it when my life began; 初生時即如此，
So is it now I am a man; 我現(xiàn)在仍不變，
So be it when I shall grow old, 將來也會如此，
Or let me die! 否則我寧愿死去!
The Child is father of the Man; 兒童是成人之父;
And I could wish my days to be愿自然虔誠的意念，將我生涯的每個日子連串起來。
Bound each to each by natural piety. 自幼至老，深信不移。
by William Wordsworth, 1770-1850
