>A New Age Wystan Hugh Auden (1907 - 1973 / England)
<

>So an age ended, and its last deliverer died In bed, grown idle and unhappy; they were safe: The sudden shadow of a giant's enormous calf Would fall no more at dusk across their lawns outside.
<

>They slept in peace: in marshes here and there no doubt A sterile dragon lingered to a natural death, But in a year the spoor had vanished from the heath: A kobold's knocking in the mountain petered out.
<

>Only the sculptors and the poets were half sad, And the pert retinue from the magician's house Grumbled and went elsewhere. The vanished powers were glad
<

>To be invisible and free; without remorse Struck down the sons who strayed in their course, And ravished the daughters, and drove the fathers mad. 
<

>《新时代》 （英）奥登 胡桑译
<

>一个时代就这么结束了，它最后的救渡者死在 床上，无奈而凄凉，他们安全了： 巨人大腿急速的阴影 不再跌落到屋外的草坪上。
<

>他们平静地睡着：毫无疑问是在湿地的各处 一条不孕的龙逡巡着将要老死， 但一年内它的足迹将从荒地消失： 一个在山峦内部敲打着的地下精灵逐渐枯萎。
<

>唯有雕塑家和诗人有几分悲伤， 从魔术师的戏院里出来的粗鲁随从 抱怨着各奔东西。业已消失的诸神乐于
<

>隐形而不受拘束，毫无悔恨 打倒迷途的儿子们， 掠夺女儿们，把父亲们逼得疯狂。
 The Dream Wystan Hugh Auden (1907 - 1973 / England)
Dear, though the night is gone, Its dream still haunts today, That brought us to a room Cavernous, lofty as A railway terminus, And crowded in that gloom Were beds, and we in one In a far corner lay. 
Our whisper woke no clocks, We kissed and I was glad At everything you did, Indifferent to those Who sat with hostile eyes In pairs on every bed, Arms round each other's neck, inert and vaguely sad. 
O but what worm of guilt Or what malignant doubt Am I the victim of, That you then, unabashed, Did what I never wished, Confessed another love; And I, submissive, felt Unwanted and went out? 
1936
 《梦》 （英）奥登 胡桑译
亲爱的，尽管夜晚已经走了， 梦还在今天出没， 把我们带进巨穴般 高耸的房间，就像 火车终点站， 几张床拥挤在 黑暗里，我们合为一体 在远处的角落里躺下。
我们的低语不会吵醒时钟， 我们亲吻，我沉醉于 你做的每件事情，不在乎那些 以敌对的眼神对坐在 每张床上的恋人们， 他们的手臂绕在对方的脖子上， 呆滞并且暧昧地悲伤。
哦，但我是怎样的内疚之虫 或者恶毒的怀疑 的牺牲品， 然后你，毫无廉耻地 坦白另有所爱， 这完全出乎我的意料， 我，恭顺地，感到 毫无兴致，并且离开？
1936

奥登的情诗写得令人动容，象《葬礼蓝调》。这个梦则有点可怕。打倒迷途的儿子们， 掠夺女儿们，把父亲们逼得疯狂。这就是我们所处的时代哦。。。。
