W. B. Yeats - The Magi 汉译

Now as at all times I can see in the mind’s eye,

In their stiff, painted clothes, the pale unsatisfied ones

Appear and disappear in the blue depth of the sky

With all their ancient faces like rain-beaten stones,

And all their helms of Silver hovering side by side,

And all their eyes still fixed, hoping to find once more,

Being by Calvary’s turbulence unsatisfied,

The uncontrollable mystery on the bestial floor.

东方三贤

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

此刻，正如我时时在内心中所见，

那些苍白的不满者身穿僵硬的彩衣

在那湛蓝幽深的天穹里时隐时现：

他们苍老的容颜都好似雨打的岩石，

他们银制的头盔在空中联翩飞舞；

卡尔佛里山的暴行并不使他们满意，

他们的双眼仍在凝望，希望再度

在兽性的地面上找到那莫测的神秘。
