济慈诗歌和书信选(英文版)07 Wherein Lies Happiness

 　　Wherein Lies Happiness

　　Wherein lies happiness? In that which becks

　　Our ready minds to fellowship divine,

　　A fellowship with essence; till we shine,

　　Full alchemiz’d, and free of space. Behold¹

　　The clear religion of heaven! Fold

　　A rose leaf round thy finger’s taperness,

　　And soothe² thy lips: hist, when the airy stress

　　Of music’s kiss impregnates the free winds,

　　And with a sympathetic touch unbinds

　　Eolian magic from their lucid³ wombs:

　　Then old songs waken from enclouded tombs;

　　…Feel we these things? - that moment have we stept

　　Into a sort of oneness, and our state

　　Is like a floating spirit’s. But there are

　　Richer entanglements, enthralments far

　　More self-destroying, leading, by degrees,

　　To the chief intensity: the crown of these

　　Is made of love and friendship, and sits high

　　Upon the forehead of humanity…
