波斯短歌行译笺 其五十一 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押鱼韵
象外环中动不居,退藏冥宰莫仁予。
东天只见初生月,西海不知终化鱼。
注:象外环中: 司空图《诗品·雄浑》:“超以象外,得其环中。”动不居:《易·系辞传》:“《易》之为书也不可远,为道也屡迁,变动不居,周流六虚。”孔颖达疏:“言阴阳六爻更互变动,不恒居一体也。”○退藏:《易·系辞传》:“圣人以此洗心,退藏于密,吉凶与民同患,神以知来,知以藏往。”韩康伯注:“言其道深微,万物日用而不能知其原,故曰退藏于密,犹藏诸用也。”冥宰:冥中制之也。陈赓《游龙祠》:“吾闻川真岳灵有冥宰。”莫仁:《老子》第五章:“天地不仁,以万物为刍狗。”○东天句:原文云:“彼所赋形者,起于鱼,止乎月。”盖波斯人言,万物始乎鱼终乎月也。
Whose secret Presence, through Creation's veins
Running Quicksilver-like eludes your pains;
Taking all shapes from Máh to Máhi; and
They change and perish all but He remains;
Whose secret Presence, through Creation's veins
Running Quicksilver-like eludes your pains;
Taking all shapes from Máh to Máhi; and
They change and perish all but He remains;
