蛻變：魔法煉金術

《向黎明致敬》是印度戲劇家卡里達沙的一首小詩。

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!

 

Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life
In its brief course
Lie all the Verities and Realities of your existence
The Bliss of Growth
The Glory of Action
The Splendor of Beauty
For Yesterday is but a Dream
And Tomorrow is only a Vision
But Today well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness
And every Tomorrow a Visiom of Hope

Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
 

看著這一天！
因為它就是生命，生命中的生命。
在它短短的時間裡，
有你存在的所有變化與現實：
生長的福澤，
行動的榮耀，
成就的輝煌。
因為昨天不過是一場夢，
而明天只是一個幻影，
但是活在很好的今天，
卻能使每一個昨天都是一個快樂的夢，
每一個明天都是有希望的幻景，

所以,好好看著這一刻吧，
這就是你對黎明的敬禮。
