The first scene I step into each day,
Is of ancient wood, books, and portraits.
There’s no need to question, this is not a place for fervent souls,
Silence is the language here.
In the song of silence, I intoxicated myself,
Falling deeply into my thoughts.
I thus immersed myself in the twilight,
and slept in harmony with immortal wisdom.

与世隔绝

一天最早踏进的景色，
是古老的木，书，和画像
无需质问，这里不属于热烈的灵魂
沉默就是这里的语言
在沉默的歌声中我得以沉醉
醉倒进最深的思绪里
由此陷入霞光
与不朽的智慧共眠
