It is foolish
to let a young redwood
grow next to a house.
Even in this
one lifetime
you will have to choose.
That great calm being,
this clutter of soup pots and books—
Already the first branch-tips brush at
the window.
Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life.
（Jane Hirshfield）
树
让一棵小红杉*
长在屋子旁边
挺傻的。
即使在身为人类的短暂一生中，
你也必须做出选择。
一边是卓绝而沉静的生物，
一边是乱七八糟地摆放着的汤锅和书籍
第一茬树梢已能轻轻拂掠
窗户，
那种无限，在柔和而平静地叩击着你的生命
