82。Time is endless in thy hands, my lord. There is none to count thy minutes.
       你手中的时间无限，我的主。多到分秒无以计算。

       Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers. Thou knowest how to wait.
       日夜更迭，时代翻转若花开花谢。你知晓如何等待的悠惬。

      Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.
      你的世纪一个接着一个，只为来完美盛绽朵小小野花呢。

      We have no time to lose, and having no time we must scramble for a chances. We are too poor to be late.
       我们不该将时间失去，时间不够我们就该将机缘争取。我们精神贫瘠，就不该行动迟迟。

      And thus it is that time goes by while I give it to every querulous man who claims it, and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.
      因此呢，如果谁索要我时间，我会把它让给爱抱怨的，那一刻我的时光就虚度了，最后你的神坛也就没任何祭品了。

      At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate to be shut; but I find that yet there is time.
      一天过去时我急忙朝这赶，怕你的大门已然紧关；可我发现居然还有时间。

84。It is the pang of separa -tion that spreads throughout the world and gives birth to shapes innumerable in the infinite sky.
      恰是生离死别愁漫漫，无垠空中散，形态各异意乱乱。

85。When the warriors came out first from their master's hall, where had they hid their power? Where were their armour and their arms?
       当士兵们走出其主公的厅堂时，他们的威力藏在哪里？他们的胄甲干戈又在哪里？

       他们看来贫穷又沮丧无助，那天他们从其主公的厅堂走出，如雨箭矢向他们射去。

       当士兵们行军走回其主公的厅堂时，他们的武力又藏在哪里？

        They had dropped the sword and dropped the bow and the arrow; peace was on their foreheads, and they had left the fruits of their life behind them on the day they marched back again to their master's hall.
        他们已放下弓剑；和平写在他们的额前，那天，他们已将生活之后果抛到身后面，他们整队行进又回到其主公的厅堂那边。

     破庙里的女神呀！维那琴弦已断赞歌已绝；晚钟所宣亦非礼拜你的时间。人们对你的气氛是心无涟漪静默不谈。

     In your desolate dwelling comes the vagrant spring breeze. It brings the tidings of flowers---the flowers that for your worship are offered no more.
     春日飔风如浪子，去往你孤僻的房子。它带来花开花谢的阵阵潮浪——可用作膜拜你的花儿已无人献上。

      膜拜你的老流浪汉们，总想被你施恩，但最后也没被满意。黄昏，光与影交杂于灰暗尘土之时，他带着心灵的饥渴，疲倦地回到这破庙里。

      Many a festival day comes to you in silence, deity of the ruined temple. Many a night of worship goes away with lamp unlit.
      破庙之神呵，许多节日静静来至你面前。许多礼拜之晚，（人们）走时未将灯儿点燃。

      Many new images are built by masters of cunning art and carried to the holy stream of oblivion when their time is come.
      狡黠能干的艺术大师们，不断制造出崭新的神，当日子到了时，它们又被扔进遗忘的圣河里。
