痛苦是盲目而健忘的神明，

从不知究竟何时降临，

亦不知

会在哪一天忽然离去。

祂的国度无边无际，

举目四望，只有祂自己。

而每当祂征服新的王座，

却总是发现早已来过。

Pain has an element of blank

It cannot recollect

When it began, or if there were

A day when it was not

It has no future but itself

Its infinite realms contain

Its past, enlightened to perceive

New periods of pain
