如果记住就是忘却

我将不再回忆。

如果忘却就是记住

我多么接近于忘却。

 

如果相思，是娱乐，

而哀悼，是喜悦，

那些手指何等欢快，今天，

采撷到了这些。

 

If recollecting were forgetting,

Then I remember not.

And if forgetting, recollecting,

How near I had forgot.

 

And if to miss, were merry,

And to mourn, were gay,

How very blithe the fingers

That gathered this, Today!
