The Stars

Battling my way homeward one dark night against the wind and rain, a sudden gust, stronger than the others, drove me back into the shelter of a tree. But soon the Western sky broke open; the illumination of the Stars poured down from behind the dispersing clouds.

I was astonished at their brightness, to see how they filled the night with their lustre. So I went my way accompanied by them; Arcturus followed me, and becoming entangled in a leafy tree, shone by glimpses, and then emerged triumphant, Lord of the Western sky. Moving along the road in my waterproof and goloshes, my thoughts were among the Constellations. I too was one of the Princes of the starry Universe; in me also there was something that blazed, that glittered.

星星

一个暗夜里我顶风冒雨往家里走，半路上突然刮起一阵风，特别猛，刮得我只好退到一棵树下躲避。可是不一会儿，只见西边云破天开，一片星光从四散的乌云间倾泻而下。

我不禁惊诧于这满天星辉，看繁星是怎样让夜色充满了自己的璀璨。于是我有它们陪着往家走；大角星跟着我，过一棵树时缠在了茂密的树叶间，一瞥一闪地亮着，过后又胜利地重现天穹，到底是西天的主宰。我披着雨衣套着雨靴前行，思绪在星座间漫游。我也是啊，宇宙星空中的一个王子；我心中也有东西在燃烧，在闪光呢。
