英文诗在中文里能有多美？卡罗尔作品《无言的暗夜》欣赏

Words, Wide Night
by Carol Ann Duffy
Somewhere on the other side of this wide nightand the distance between us, I am thinking of you.
The room is turning slowly away from the moon.
This is pleasurable. Or shall I cross that out and say
it is sad? In one of the tenses I singingan impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.
La lala la. See? I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross
to reach you. For I am in love with you
and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.

Carol Ann Duffy（卡罗尔·安·达菲，苏格兰诗人）的诗特点是accessibility。对读者友好的作品，容易引起共鸣，但自降门槛并不意味着就该失去诗应有的韵味，相反，与已有经验高度重合的文字更易勾起深层的兴味。
读了她的《Words,Wide Night》之后，我不禁思考外语诗在中文语境下会是什么样子。作为一门有着长久诗词传统的语言，汉语诗词作品浩如烟海。而这首诗的意境，似乎能够对应其中一些作品。
“Somewhere on the other side of this wide night and the distance between us, I am thinking of you”可对应白居易《长恨歌》之“迟迟钟鼓初长夜，耿耿星河欲曙天”。
