We Two—How Long We were Fool’dWalt·WhitmanWe two—how long we were fool’d!

Now transmuted, we swiftly escape, as Nature escapes;We are Nature—long have we been absent, but now we return;We become plants, leaves, foliage, roots, bark;We are bedded in the ground—we are rocks;We are oaks—we grow in the openings side by side;We browse—we are two among the wild herds, spontaneous as any;We are two fishes swimming in the sea together;We are what the locust blossoms are—we drop scent around the lanes, mornings andevenings;We are also the coarse smut of beasts, vegetables, minerals;We are two predatory hawks—we soar above, and look down;We are two resplendent suns—we it is who balance ourselves, orbic and stellar—weare as two comets;We prowl fang’d and four-footed in the woods—we spring on prey;We are two clouds, forenoons and afternoons, driving overhead;We are seas mingling—we are two of those cheerful waves, rolling over each other, andinterwetting each other;We are what the atmosphere is, transparent, receptive, pervious, impervious:We are snow, rain, cold, darkness—we are each product and influence of the globe;We have circled and circled till we have arrived home again—we two have;We have voided all but freedom, and all but our own joy.

我俩，我们被愚弄了这么久，可现在变了，我们迅速逃走，像大自然一样逃走，我们就是大自然，我们离开这里已经很久，但是如今回来了，我们变成植物、树干、树叶、树根和树皮，我们被安置在地里、我们是岩石，我们是橡树，我们并排地生长在林中的空地，我们吃草，我们是野牛群中的两只，如大家一样自然，我们是在海中一起游泳的两条鱼，我们是刺槐的花朵，我们早晚在小巷周围散发香气，我们也是兽类、植物、矿物的粗劣斑点，我们是两只肉食的苍鹰，我们翱翔在高空，俯视下面，我们是两个灿烂的太阳，我们在像星球般平衡着自己，我们是两颗彗星，我们张牙舞爪地在树林巾梭巡，我们向猎物跃进，我们是午前午后在上空奔驰的两朵云，我们是交混的海洋，我们是两个欢乐的浪头，在互相浇泼和连环翻滚，我们是大气、明澈而善于接受，有时能穿透，有时不能，我们是冰雪，雨水，寒冷，黑暗，我们是地球上的每种势力和产品，我们绕了一圈又一圈，最后我们又回到家里，我俩，我们避免了—切，除了自由和我们自己的欢欣。
