前乎吾辈而死者万千无数，
曾无一人归来
告诉我们当走的道路。

Before us pass'd the door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the Road,
Which to discover we must travel too.

不过是痴人说梦，
醒后告了同侪，
匆匆又归大梦。

The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophets burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
They told their comrades and to Sleep return'd.

走去翻读些未来世的文章。
我的灵魂渐渐转来告道：
“我自己便是地狱，便是天堂”。

I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd “I Myself am Heav'n and Hell”:
