危険から守り給えと祈るのではなく、
危険と勇敢に立ち向かえますように。
痛みが鎮まることを乞うのではなく、
痛みに打ち克つ心を乞えますように。
人生という戦場で味方をさがすのではなく、
自分自身の力を見いだせますように。
不安と恐れの下で救済を切望するのではなく、
自由を勝ち取るために耐える心を願えますように。
成功のなかにのみあなたの恵みを感じるような卑怯者ではなく、
失意のときにこそ、あなたの御手に握られていることに気づけますように。
ラビンドラナート・タゴール「果物採集」より。(石川拓治訳)
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
Fruit-gathering LXXIX (Rabindranath Tagore)
山のあなたの空遠く
「幸(さいはひ)」住むと人のいふ。
噫(ああ)、われひとと尋とめゆきて、
涙さしぐみ、かへりきぬ。
山のあなたになほ遠く
「幸(さいはひ)」住むと人のいふ。
上田敏訳 『海潮音』より
Über den Bergen weit zu wandern
Sagen die Leute, wohnt das Glück.
Ach, und ich ging im Schwarme der andern,
kam mit verweinten Augen zurück.
Über den Bergen weit weit drüben,
Sagen die Leute, wohnt das Glück.
― Carl Busse Über den Bergen
There are few things in life more heartwarming than
to be welcomed by a cat.
"Tay Hohoff"
I'm an alien,
I'm a legal alien.
If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.(Quentin Crisp)
You who I cradled in my arms
You, asking as little as you can
Little snip of a little man
I know I'd give my life for you
You didn't ask me to be born
You, why should you learn of war or pain?
To make sure you're not hurt again
I swear I'd give my life for you
I've tasted love beyond all fear
And you should know it's love
that brought you here
And in one perfect night
when the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do
I'll give you a million things I'll never own
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown
You will be who you want to be
You, can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you
Sometimes I wake up
reaching for him
I feel his shadow brush my head
But there's just moonlight on my bed
Was he a ghost? Was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see
his little one, gods of the sun,
bring him to me!
You will be who you want to be
You, can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you
No one can stop what I must do
I swear I'll give my life for you!
You will be who you want to be
You, can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I’ll give my life for you
