Those Women


             When You Are Old
                              ----Williams B. Yeats

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

 

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;

 

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly,
 
How love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

  "我认识你,永远记得你。那时候,你还很年轻,人人都说你美,现在,我是特为来告诉你,对我来说,我觉得现在你比年轻的时候更美,那时你是年轻女人,与你那时的面貌相比,我更爱你现在备受摧残的面容。"
