我喜欢痛苦的表情

我喜欢痛苦的表情，

因为我知道它真实——

人们不会假作惊厥，

也不佯装，剧痛——

眼神一旦凝滞，就是死亡——

无法伪装额头上

由平凡的痛苦

串起的汗珠。

I like a look of Agony

I like a look of Agony,

Because I know it’s true—

Men do not sham Convulsion,

Nor simulate, a Throe—

The Eyes glaze once—and that is Death—

Impossible to feign

The Beads upon the Forehead

By homely Anguish strung.
