1. Keats

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

Keats的Bright Star是他为女友Fanny Brawne所写的十四行诗，遵循了Keats“唯美”的原则：我就要永远停留在这个甜蜜的时刻，死也要死在最美的时刻——就如星星一样永远坚定如故。

明亮的星

约翰·济慈  顾子欣译

明亮的星，但愿我能如你坚定---

但并非孤独地在夜空闪烁高悬，

睁着一双永不合拢的眼睛，

犹如苦修的隐士彻夜无眠，

凝视海水冲洗尘世的崖岸，

好似牧师行施净体的沐浴，

或正俯瞰下界的荒原与群山

被遮盖在轻轻飘落的雪罩里

并非这样---却永远坚定如故，

枕卧在我美丽的爱人的胸膛，

永远能感到它的轻轻的起伏，

永远清醒，在甜蜜的不安中，

永远、永远听着她轻柔的呼吸，

永远这样生活---或昏厥而死去。

2. A. E. Housman

Stars, I have seen them fall,
But when they drop and die
No star is lost at all
From all the star-sown sky.
The toil of all that be
Helps not the primal fault;
It rains into the sea,
And still the sea is salt.

Housman没有把重点放在流星雨多美上，而是关注星星掉下去之后，生命是否终结——它们在海里生活，海水咸咸的，就是证据咩～

3. Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

把湖边盛开的随风跳舞的水仙花带和湖光粼粼之景，看作繁星璀璨的银河，真是比银河更银河。

我孤独地漫游，像一朵云

华兹华斯 飞白译

我孤独地漫游，像一朵云

在山丘和谷地上荡，

忽然间我看见一群

金色的水仙花迎春开放，

在树荫下，在湖水边，

迎着微风起舞翩翩。

连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂，

在银河里闪闪发光，

它们沿着湖湾的边缘

延伸成无穷无尽的一行：

我一眼看见了一万朵，

在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。

粼粼波光也在跳着舞，

水仙的欢欣却胜过水波;

与这样快活的伴侣为伍，

诗人怎能不满心欢乐!

我久久凝望，却想象不到

这奇景赋予我多少财宝，——

每当我躺在床上不眠，

或心神空茫，或默默沉思，

它们常在心灵中闪现，

那是孤独之中的福祉;

于是我的心便涨满幸福,，

和水仙一同翩翻起舞。

The Embankment

(The fantasia of a fallen gentleman on a cold, bitter night)

Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy,
In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement.
Now see I
That warmth’s the very stuff of poesy.
Oh, God, make small
The old star-eaten blanket of the sky,
That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie.

又是心疼流星🌠掉下来的诗人，还把人家叫做“落下的老绅士”。最后对上帝的请求有意思：把夜空比喻成毯子，星星比喻成毯子上的珠宝，已不是老生常谈，但诗人要把毯子盖在自己身上取暖，就很浪漫啦

5. Yeats

When You Are Old

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

爱从老年女神手里溜走，从温暖的壁炉走出森林中的小木屋，步上群山，一跃而上，到了天上，将脸藏在繁星后面，爱就是这么从触手可及，到遥不可及，只剩一片繁星满满的星空。

当你老了

叶芝   冰心译

当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，

　　倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，

　　慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神

　　那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。

　　多少人爱过你青春的片影，

　　爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或是真情，

　　惟独一人爱你那朝圣者的心，

　　爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。

　　在炉栅边，你弯下了腰，

　　低语着，带着浅浅的伤感，

　　爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，

　　怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。

6. Gerard Manley Hopkins 

The Starlight Night

Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!

O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves’-eyes!
The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare!
Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!
Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.

Buy then! bid then! — What? — Prayer, patience, alms, vows.
Look, look: a May-mess, like on orchard boughs!
Look! March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!
These are indeed the barn; withindoors house
The shocks. This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.

这完全就是第一次看到银河的感受，看那看那看那！星星像火狐，像金子，像钻石！快许愿快说出誓言！看那看那看那，我的天呐，太美了这就是天堂！

7.  Emily Dickinson 

Ah, Moon—and Star!
You are very far—
But were no one
Farther than you—
Do you think I’d stop
For a Firmament—
Or a Cubit—or so?

不懂，放弃解读...

8. Shakespeare

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!

Here will we sit and let the sounds of music

Creep in our ears. Soft stillness and the night

55Become the touches of sweet harmony.

Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven

Is thick inlaid with patens of bright gold.

There’s not the smallest orb which thou behold’st

But in his motion like an angel sings,

60Still choiring to the young-eyed cherubins.

Such harmony is in immortal souls,

But whilst this muddy vesture of decay

Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.

如何用夜晚的星空来撩妹：画一副图画，用上拟人手法，比如说“月光多么恬静地睡在山坡上！”然后放着音乐，再邀请妹子坐下来，跟她讲为什么月亮星空这么美。

一定要站在形而上学的角度，告诉她宇宙的奥秘，天体移动时发出的和谐仙乐，再讲那音乐人世间是没有的，我们的灵魂听过，但是因为人类有了沉重的肉体，就再也听不到仙乐了。

妹子望着星空，陷入沉思，这时爱情也从凡世上升到了星空的高度，一尘不染。

威尼斯商人

莎士比亚   朱生豪译

月光多么恬静地睡在山坡上！我们就在这儿坐下来，让音乐的声音悄悄送进我们的耳边；柔和的静寂和夜色，是最足以衬托出音乐的甜美的。坐下来，杰西卡。瞧，天宇中嵌满了多少灿烂的金钹；你所看见的每一颗微小的天体，在转动的时候都会发出天使般的歌声，永远应和着嫩眼的天婴的妙唱。在永生的灵魂里也有这一种音乐，可是当它套上这一具泥土制成的俗恶易朽的皮囊以后，我们便再也听不见了。
