英国诗人兰德的诗《生与死》
Dying Speech of an Old Philosopher
by W.S. Landor
I strove with none for none was worth my strife;
Nature I loved, and, next to nature, art
I warm'd both hands before the fire of life;
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
杨绛女士将此诗译作为：
我和谁都不争，
和谁争我都不屑；
我爱大自然，
其次是艺术；
我双手烤着，
生命之火取暖；
火萎了，
我也准备走了
