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。

83。Mother, I shall weave a chain of pearls for thy neck with my tears of sorrow.

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。

      It is this sorrow of sepa -ration that gazes in silence all nights from star to star and becomes lyric among rustling leaves in rainy dark -ness of July.
      恰是雨涟涟的七月阴沉沉，寂寂别绪夜夜仰望星辰，树叶窸窸娑娑，此情此景竟成凄切离歌。

      It is this overspreading pain that deepens into loves and desires, into sufferings and joy in human homes; and this it is that ever melts and flows in songs through my poet's heart.
      恰是这漫漫苦痛愈来愈深，深入每户人家的爱和欲望里、悲惨和欢乐里；恰是它呢，永远通过我这诗人的心，融化流淌而成为诗歌。

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？

       They looked poor and helpless, and the arrows were showered upon them on the day they came out from their master's hall.
       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。

       When the warriors marched back again to their master's hall where did they hide their power?
       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。

86。Death, thy servant, is at my door. He has crossed the unknown sea and brought thy call to my home.
        死亡，你的仆人，站在我门前。他渡过无名之海带来你的召唤。

      The night is dark and my heart is fearful---yet I will take up the lamp, open my gates and bow to him my welcome. It is thy messenger who stands at my door.
      夜色深深，我畏惧满心——可我要端起灯，打开我所有的门，欢迎他来向他鞠躬。因为是你的使者来到我大门。
