XXXV
Skerryvore: The Parallel
From Underwoods
Robert Louis Stevenson
Here all is sunny, and when the truant gull
Skims the green level of the lawn, his wing
Dispetals roses; here the house is framed
Of kneaded brick and the plumed mountain pine,
Such clay as artists fashion and such wood
As the tree-climbing urchin breaks. But there
Eternal granite hewn from the living isle
And dowelled with brute iron, rears a tower
That from its wet foundation to its crown
Of glittering glass, stands, in the sweep of winds,
Immovable, immortal, eminent.
ここでは皆うららかで、そして怠け者の鴎が
青い芝生の背丈すれすれに飛ぶ時、
彼の翼は花弁を損ねて上昇する。
