致伊迪絲

《致伊迪絲》羅素的一首愛情詩。

中文譯文如下：

經歷漫長的歲月

我尋求安寧

我找到狂喜，

我找到煩惱，

我找到瘋狂

我找到孤獨，

我找到孤寂的痛苦，

它齧噬著我的心，

但安寧我從未得到。

到了垂暮之年，行將就木，

我認識了你，

認識了你，

我找到了狂喜和安寧，

我得到了平靜的休憩，

多年孤獨的歲月之後

我懂得了什麼是愛、什麼是生命。

現在，如果我長眠不醒，

我會心滿意足地離去。

英文版

Through the long years

I sought peace.

I found ecstasy, I found anguish,

I found madness,

I found loneliness.

I found the solitary pain

that gnaws the heart,

But peace I did not find.

Now, old and near my end,

I have known you,

And, knowing you,

I have found both ecstasy and peace

I know rest.

After so many lonely years

I know what life and love may be.

Now, if I sleep,

I shall sleep fulfilled.
