ath，

Doubled the globe of dead and halved a country;

These five kings did a king to death.

The mighty hand leads to a sloping shoulder，

The finger joints are cramped with chalk;

A goose’s quill has put an end to murder

That put an end to talk.

The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever，

And famine grew， and locusts came;

Great is the hand that holds dominion over

Man by a scribbled name.

The five kings count the dead but do not soften

The crusted wound nor pat the brow;

A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;

Hands have no tears to flow.

那只签署文件的手

那只签署文件的手毁了一座城市；

五个大权在握的手指扼杀生机，

把死者的世界扩大一倍又把一个国家分两半，

这五个王置一个王于死地。

那只有权势的手通向倾斜的肩膀，

手指关节由于石灰质而僵硬；

一支鹅毛笔结束了一场

结束过谈判的屠杀。

那只签署条约的手制造瘟疫，

又发生机谨，飞来蝗灾，

那只用一个潦草的签名

统治人类的手多了不起。

五个王数死人但不安慰

结疤的伤口也不抚摸额头；

一只手统治怜悯一只手统治天；

手没有眼泪可流。

（八）Light breaks where no sun shines

没有太阳，光就降临

Light breaks where no sun shines;

Where no sea runs， the waters of the heart

Push in their tides;

And， broken ghosts with glowworms in their heads，

The things of light

File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bones.

A candle in the thighs

Warms youth and seed and burns the seeds of age;

Where no seed stirs，

The fruit of man unwrinkles in the stars，

Bright as a fig;
