Wild Geese

Wild Geese

Mary Oliver


You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.


野雁群

你不必追求完美。
也不必匍匐于忏悔的荒漠。
你唯一要做的
就是释放出体内潜藏的
温柔的兽性，爱你所爱。
告诉我你的绝望，我也会告诉你
我的绝望。
没有你，地球照样转。
没有你，阳光和乱石般的雨水
照样会覆盖山川，密林和草原。
没有你，天上的野雁群
照样会朝着家的方向飞翔。
无论你是谁，不管你有多孤独
世界永远在你的想象中铺呈，蔓延
提醒你去爱那浮于旷远的野雁群
提醒你关于家的一切温暖和细节。
