By Walt Whitman

A GLIMPSE, through an interstice caught,

Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room, around the stove,

late of a winter night--And I unremark'd seated in a corner;

Of a youth who loves me, and whom I love, silently approaching, and

seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand;

A long while, amid the noises of coming and going--of drinking and

oath and smutty jest,

There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,

perhaps not a word.

一瞥

沃尔特·惠特曼

冬夜已深，混杂着工人与司机的酒吧内，人群喧嚷，炉火旁，透过间隙瞥见一幕 -我悄无声息静坐于角落;一个爱我且我所爱的年青人，默默走近，落坐于我身边，好与我以手相握;长夜漫漫，在这来来往往的喧嚣中 –在喧嚣的酒饮、诅咒和粗俗的笑谈里，我俩就在那儿，满足而愉快的在一起，说话很少，也许静默不语。
