顯微鏡下 ◎Miroslav Holub 譯│印卡
此處也有造夢的風景，
月光棄守的失物。
此處也有著普羅們，
濕土中的耕耘者。
也有著細胞，戰士般
為一首歌而拋擲自己的性命。
也有著葬地，
名聲與雪。
而，我是聽到了怨言，
聽到了，就是這片大地的起義。
In the Microscope
-- Miroslav Holub, MD*
Here too are the dreaming landscapes,
lunar, derelict.
Here too are the masses,
tillers of the soil.
And cells, fighters
who lay down their lives for a song.
Here too are cemeteries,
fame and snow.
And I hear the murmuring,
the revolt of immense estates.
*Translated into English from Czech by Ian Milner. Holub (1923 - 1998) worked as an immunologist during the day, wrote as a poet at night [via]. His poems rarely rhymed, so easily lent themselves to English translation.
