allowing the world to flicker and to fuse.

霎时之间整个世界在开始发光熔化又重新组合
It is now recombined in its very atoms, not merely in its visible and superficial parts.

不仅仅是外表就连每一粒原子都经过了重新组合
The writer is the first man to map it

作家是第一个为这个奇妙的天地绘制地图的人
and to name the natural objects it contains.

期间的一草一木都得由他定名
Those berries are edible.

那里结的浆果是可以吃的
That speckled creature that bolted across my path might be tamed.

那只从我身边穿过身上带斑点的动物也许能被驯服

树木环绕的湖可以叫做蛋白石湖
more artistically, Dishwater Lake.

或者更艺术味一点叫洗盘水湖
That mist is a mountain-- and that mountain must be conquered.

那云雾是一座山峰而且是注定要被征服的山峰
Up a trackless slope climbs the master artist,

在那无路可循的山坡上攀援的是艺术大师
and at the top, on a windy ridge,

只是当他登上山顶当风而立
whom do you think he meets?

你猜他在哪里遇见了谁
