Elected Silence, sing to me And beat upon my whorled ear, Pipe me to pastures still and be The music that I care to hear.

Elected Silence, sing to me And beat upon my whorled ear, Pipe me to pastures still and be The music that I care to hear.

选择沉默，为我歌唱，在我扭曲的耳朵上敲打，用笛声把我吹向牧场，做我想听的音乐。

-- Gerard Manley Hopkins 杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯
