(1)Pantha Rhei
Everything flows – pantha rhei
Everything alters with passing time
And here we have again the final month
Another year is coming to an end.
Was this one happy? Or maybe sad?
Was it good? Or was it bad?
Colorful memories, like shots from a movie,
Are flowing before our eyes.
I think to myself: it wasn't so bad!
It wasn't wasted
If every single day
Brought a tiny grain
Of joy, of hope,
Of everything what's worth
Cherishing and making it last forever.
万物流转
一切的瞬动——万物流转,
时过境迁 所有都会改变。
岁末又至,
将是 新的来年。
或悲 或喜?
或苦 或甜?
茂密的回忆,
竟似 黑胶的片段,
它们 划过我们的双眼。
默里沉思:其实 没有如此差劲!
如果每天 皆有细微的增进,
就算 不是浪费了丁点。
如是快乐 如是期望,
如是万物皆有价值,
珍惜它罢 令之永恒、绵延。

(2)My Dear Darling Mum!
The love of books
and the written word –
also thanks to you!
The view of reality –
sometimes with a knowing wink,
sometimes with melancholy –
like you.
Speaking and rhyming –
there’s no denying –
your “doing” too.
And a love of open spaces,
the azure,
the green places,
berries in the woods, fully ripe...
The world entire –
so insanely you loved!
——Your Anna

亲爱的母亲
附爱的书文
写下的文字——
谢你 如是!
现实一观——
某刻 会会意地眨眼,
某刻 又会带着忧郁——
共你 如是。
谈吐 共含韵——
无可辩驳的——
你亦 如是。
广袤的热爱,
蔚蓝,
和绿地。
林中的浆果 业已成熟……
对整个世界——
你也 爱得非常如是!
——你的女儿Anna
