重归混沌 (The Return to Chaos)

　　让我们重归于元始的混沌！

　　Let us imagine the primordial² din³, the original vortex!

　　让我们臆想那本初的喧嚣、元始的漩涡！

　　Let us throw ourselves into the whirlwind which has preceded the creation of form.

　　让我们投身于造化的涡流。

　　Let our being tremble with effort and madness in the fiery⁴ abyss!

　　让我们在炽烈的深渊中，因耗力与癫狂而战栗！

　　Let everything be wiped out so that, surrounded by confusion and disequilibrium, we participate fully⁵ in the general delirium⁶, retracing⁷ our way back from cosmos⁸ to chaos, from form to swirling⁹ gyres.

　　让一切消耗殆尽，待我们被错乱与失衡包围，深陷谵妄，自宇宙回归鸿蒙，自形体化为涡旋。

　　The disintegration¹⁰ of the world is creation in reverse: an apocalypse upside down but sprung from similar impulses.

　　世界的解体乃是逆行之创造，正如一个颠倒的末世，其由同脉而生。

　　Nobody desires to return to chaos without having first experienced an apocalyptic¹¹ vertigo¹².

　　世人只有体验过末世般的眩晕感，才会向往归于混沌。

　　How great my terror and my joy at the thought of being dragged into the vortex of initial chaos, that pandemonium¹³ of paradoxical symmetry—the unique geometry of chaos, devoid¹⁴ of sense or form!

　　一想到被卷入混沌初始的漩涡，我的恐惧与愉悦是何等激烈！那无序的矛盾对称正是混沌独有的几何结构，没有形式亦没有意义！

　　In every whirlwind hides a potential for form, just as in chaos there is a potential cosmos.

　　每个涡流中蕴藏着一种造化，正如混沌里潜藏着一个宇宙。

　　Let me possess an infinite number of unrealized, potential forms!

　　让我拥有千变万化之能！

       Let everything vibrate in me with the universal anxiety of the beginning, just awakening¹⁵ from nothingness!

　　让我体内的一切震颤，以创始的冲动，于虚无中醒觉！

　　I can only live at the beginning or the end of this world.

　　我只能存活在此世的初始或者终焉。
