拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生：随笔·摘录 90
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 人性 · 健康 · 哲学
In the gloom of our ignorance of what shall be, in the hour when we are deaf to the higher voices, who does not envy them who have seen safely to an end their manful endeavor? Who that sees the meanness of our politics, but inly congratulates Washington that he is long already wrapped in his shroud, and forever safe; that he was laid sweet in his grave, the hope of humanity not yet subjugated in him? Who does not sometimes envy the good and brave, who are no more to suffer from the tumults of the natural world, and await with curious complacency the speedy term of his own conversation with finite nature? And yet the love that will be annihilated sooner than treacherous has already made death impossible, and affirms itself no mortal, but a native of the deeps of absolute and inextinguishable being.

白话
爱默生说，当我们对未来无知、听不到更高声音时，会羡慕那些已经完成英勇事业并安然离世的人。看到政治的卑劣，人们会暗自庆幸华盛顿早已入土，希望未灭；也会羡慕善良勇敢者不再受尘世纷扰。然而，爱若宁可毁灭也不背叛，就已使死亡不可能，它证明自己不死，是绝对不灭存在的深处之物。换言之，真正的爱和忠诚超越死亡，让人在有限生命中触及永恒，因此不必羡慕逝者，而应活出这种不朽的爱。
上下文
