“我知道过去的事，我完全感觉得到现在的事，
假使阴灵能够发狂，我会暴跳如雷；
虽然我忘却了人间幸福的滋味，
但那种苍白使我的坟墓温暖，
仿佛我从光辉的深渊中挑了个天使
做我的配偶：你的苍白使我喜欢；
你的美丽渐渐被我爱好起来，我觉得
一种更伟大的爱暗暗流彻我的骨髓。”

"I know what was, I feel full well what is,
And I should rage, if spirits could go mad;
Though I forget the taste of earthly bliss,
That paleness warms my grave, as though I had
A Seraph chosen from the bright abyss
To be my spouse: thy paleness makes me glad;
Thy beauty grows upon me, and I feel
A greater love through all my essence steal."
