万一你不来-零零壹伍壹(今天你是第一百五十一次没来)
Servant:HAVE mercy upon your servant, my queen!
Queen:The assembly is over and my servants are all gone. Why do you come at this late hour?
Servant:When you have finished with others, that is my time. I come to ask what remains for your last servant to do.
Queen:What can you expect when it is too late?
Servant:Make me the gardener of your flower garden.
Queen:What folly is this?
Servant:I will give up my other work. I throw my swords and lances down in the dust. Do not send me to distant courts; do not bid me undertake new conquests. But make me the gardener of your flower garden.
Queen:What will your duties be?
Servant:The service of your idle days.I will keep fresh the grassy path where you walk in the morning, where your feet will be greeted with praise at every step by the flowers eager for death. I will swing you in a swing among the branches of the saptaparna, where the early evening moon will struggle to kiss your skirt through the leaves. I will replenish with scented oil the lamp that burns by your bedside, and decorate your footstool with sandal and saffron paste in wondrous designs.
Queen:What will you have for your reward?
Servant:To be allowed to hold your little fists like tender lotus-buds and slip flower chains over your wrists; to tinge the soles of your feet with the red juice of askoka petals and kiss away the speck of dust that may chance to linger there.
Queen:Your prayers are granted, my servant, your will be the gardener of my flower garden.
花园主管
侍者:请赐予我幸运,我的女主。
女主:晨会已经开过,侍从都领命离开。你为什么来得这么晚?
侍者:只有等到其他侍从离开,才有我请赐的时间。我想他们会有不愿做的剩余工作,好让我独自为您承担。
女主:可是还能剩下什么工作,让你一人独完?
侍者:我愿做花园里的园丁。
女主:听上去,这是傻念。
侍者:我愿放弃别的工作;我把剑矛扔在尘函;不要差我去遥远的殿堂;不要命令我做新的征迁。我只求祈求让我做花园里的园丁;侍奉在您的左右身边。
女主:你的职责将是怎样?
侍者:为您闲散的日子服务;保持晨兴散步的草径清爽新鲜。听到您一步双打点的脚步声,我甘愿领死以繁花来赞颂您的足纤。我将在蓝桉树枝间推荡您坐的秋千;早来的月亮透过叶隙吻您的衣衫。我将在您床边的灯盏里添满香油;用檀香混合番红花膏在足踏上描绘美妙图案。
女主:你要什么酬劳?
侍者:只要,您允许我握着您嫩柔的纤指,把花串套上您的臂弯;允许我用无忧花铺垫在你的脚底,以亲吻来拂去偶然停留在那里的尘染。
女主:你的祈求准许,你将是我花园里的主管。
