The Beauty of Taiwan

         泰戈爾對泰姬瑪哈陵的禮讚

羅賓德拉納特·泰戈爾 ~ 愛貽集

         沙賈汗，你容許帝王的權力消失，你卻願望著一滴愛之淚珠，永恆不滅。

         歲月無情，它毫不憐憫人的心靈，它嘲笑心靈因不肯忘卻而徒勞掙扎。

         沙賈汗，你用美誘惑它，使它著迷而被俘，你給無形的死神戴上了永不凋謝的形象的王冠。

         靜夜無聲，你在情人耳邊傾訴的悄悄私語，已經鐫刻在永恆沉默的白石上。

         雖則帝國崩坍向塵埃，多少世紀消失在陰影裡，那大理石卻依舊向星空嘆息道：「我記得！」

         「我記得！」 -- 然而生命卻忘記了。因為生命必須奔赴永恆的徵召，她輕裝啟程，把一切記憶留在寂靜的美麗形式裡。

Rabindranath Tagore ~ Love’s Gifts

         Sha Chiahan, you allowed your king's authority vanishes, a your actually desire drop is loving the teardrops, the eternal does not extinguish.

         The year is heartless, it does not pity the person the mind, it ridicules the mind because not to be willing to put behind but the futile effort to struggle.

         Sha Chiahan, you use beautifully to entice it, causes it to in a stew is captured, you gave the invisible god of death to put on the image royal crown which never died of old age.

         Static night silent, your quietly confidence which pour out in the sweetheart ear, already engraved in the eternal silence white stone.

         Though the empire collapses to the dust, how many centuries vanish in the shadow, that marble actually as before sighs to the starry sky: "I remember!"

         "I remember!" ~ However the life actually put behind. Because the life must rush toward the eternal calling up, she starts on a journey with light packs, keeps all memories in the quiet beautiful form.
