Put out my Eyes

Put out my Eyes

——Rilke, Rainer Maria

Put out my eyes, and I can see you still,

Slam my ears to, and I can hear you yet;

And without any feet can go to you;

And tongueless, I can conjure you at will.

Break off my arms, I shall take hold of you

And grasp you with my heart as with a hand;

Arrest my heart, my brain will beat as true;

And if you set this brain of mine afire,

Then on my blood-stream I yet will carry you.

熄掉我的眼睛

——（奥地利）里尔克

熄掉我的眼睛：我能看见你，

堵住我的耳朵：我能听见你；

没有脚我能走向你，

没有嘴我还能对你起誓。

折断我的手臂，我抓住你

用我的心如一只手，

捂住我的心，我的脑子会跳动，

你往我的脑子里扔一把火，

于是我将在我的血液中背着你。
