The Angel in the House — Page 4
I will not hearken blame or praise;
나는 비난이나 칭찬에 귀 기울이지 않으리;
For so should I dishonour do
그리하면 나는 불명예를 끼치게 되리니
To that sweet Power by which these Lays
이 노래들을 홀로 아름답고, 선하고, 참되게 하는
Alone are lovely, good, and true;
그 달콤한 힘에게;
Nor credence to the world's cries give,
세상의 외침에도 믿음을 주지 않으리,
Which ever preach and still prevent
늘 설교하면서도 끝내 가로막는,
Pure passion's high prerogative
순수한 열정의 높은 특권,
To make, not follow, precedent.
선례를 따르지 않고 만들어 가는 특권을.
From love's abysmal ether rare
사랑의 심연 속 드문 에테르로부터
If I to men have here made known
내가 여기서 사람들에게 알렸다면
New truths, they, like new stars, were there
새로운 진리들을, 그것들은 새로운 별들처럼, 이미 그곳에 있었으니
Before, though not yet written down.
아직 기록되지 않았을 뿐, 이전부터.
Moving but as the feelings move,
감정이 움직이는 대로만 움직이며,
I run, or loiter with delight,
나는 달리거나, 기쁨으로 어슬렁거리거나,
Or pause to mark where gentle Love
혹은 멈추어 온화한 사랑이 어디서
Persuades the soul from height to height.
영혼을 높이에서 높이로 이끄는지 살피네.
Yet, know ye, though my words are gay
그러나 알라, 내 말이 즐거울지라도
As David's dance, which Michal scorn'd.
미갈이 경멸했던 다윗의 춤처럼.
If kindly you receive the Lay,
그대가 이 노래를 친절히 받아들인다면,
You shall be sweetly help'd and warn'd.
그대는 달콤하게 도움을 받고 경고를 얻으리.
THE CATHEDRAL CLOSE.
대성당 구내.
Once more I came to Sarum Close,
나는 다시 한 번 세이럼 구내에 이르렀으니,
With joy half memory, half desire,
반은 기억, 반은 소망인 기쁨을 안고,
And breathed the sunny wind that rose
그리고 일어난 햇살 가득한 바람을 호흡하며,
And blew the shadows o'er the Spire,
첨탑 위로 그림자를 불어 보내고,
And toss'd the lilac's scented plumes,
라일락의 향기로운 깃털 같은 꽃을 흔들고,
And sway'd the chestnut's thousand cones,
밤나무의 수천 개 열매를 흔들며,
And fill'd my nostrils with perfumes,
내 콧속을 향기로 가득 채우고,
And shaped the clouds in waifs and zones,
구름을 떠도는 조각들과 띠 모양으로 빚어 내며,
And wafted down the serious strain
그리고 세이럼 종소리의 진지한 가락을 실어 내렸네,
Of Sarum bells, when, true to time,
때를 어김없이 지키며,
I reach'd the Dean's, with heart and brain
나는 주임 사제관에 이르렀으니, 가슴과 마음은
That trembled to the trembling chime.
떨리는 종소리에 함께 떨고 있었네.
'Twas half my home, six years ago.
그곳은 육 년 전, 내 집의 반이었으니.
The six years had not alter'd it:
육 년이 흘렀어도 그곳은 변하지 않았네:
Red-brick and ashlar, long and low,
붉은 벽돌과 다듬은 돌로, 길고 낮게,
With dormers and with oriels lit.
박공창과 돌출 창문으로 빛나는.
