There are three conditions which often look alike
有三種情況發生在這同一片樹籬，
Yet differ completely, flourish in the same hedgerow:
往往貌似想像其實截然不同：
Attachment of self and to things and to persons,
對自身、對物和人們的依附，
Detachment from self and from things and from persons; and, growing between them, indifference
從自身、從物和人們的分離；以及在這兩者之間
Which resembles the others as death resembles life,
產生的冷漠，它與前兩種相似，猶如死與生相似，
Being between two lives — unflowering, between the live and the dead nettle.
處于兩種生涯之間——不綻開花朵，處于生的和死的苦惱之間。
This is the use of memory:
這正是記憶的用處：
For liberation — not less of love but expanding of love beyond desire,
為了解脫——不是因為愛得不夠而是愛超乎欲望之外的擴展，
and so liberation from the future as well as the past.
于是不僅從過去也從未來得到解脫。
