说到爱情,一千个人会有一千个回答。
没人能准确定义爱为何物,它的形状,它的气息,它的颜色,无从捕捉。但每个人心中都曾有它掠过的涟漪,或时刻准备着迎接某天它的降临。
情诗是美与美的加成,故历史上经典的情诗多之又多:或祝福,或争吵,或错失,或想念,都能使爱变得别具一格又刻骨铭心。
今天一起来欣赏时尚最优美的十首英文情诗,去寻找罗曼蒂克的魅力吧~

Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare 莎士比亚《十四行诗之116》
经典段落:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks.
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved.
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
沧桑轮回,爱却长生不改,
雄立千秋万世直到末日的尽头。
假如有人能证明我这话说得过火,
那就算我从未写诗,世人从未爱过。

She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron 拜伦《她走在美的光彩中》

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all thats best of dark and bright;
Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
她走在美的光彩中,像夜晚
皎洁无云而且繁星漫天,
黑夜与白天最美妙的色彩,
都在她的面容和目光里显现。

I loved you first: but afterwards your love...
by Christina Rossetti 罗塞蒂《虽然我先爱你》
经典段落:
I loved you first, but afterwards your love outsoaring mine,
..For one is both and both are one in love:
Rich love knows nought of ‘thine that is not mine;
Both have the strength and both the length thereof,
Both of us, of the love which makes us one.
虽然我先爱你,但后来你的爱却超越了我,
因为真爱不分你我。
丰盛的爱不分彼此,
所以我们才有力量走向永恒。
你和我,因为爱,成为一体。

There we two, content, happy in being together,
speaking little, perhaps not a word.

在酒吧喧闹的噪声、宣言和粗俗的玩笑声中,
我们俩,知足、快乐地坐在一起,
说的很少,似乎一个字都没说。

年月就像白鸽的翅膀般飞走。
然而,最深切的记忆则会永存,
我们最甜蜜的记忆,那最初的一吻。
