白纸如是说

Said a Sheet of Snow-White Paper ...白纸如是说

纪伯伦WYB

Said a sheet of snow-white paper, "Pure was I created, and pure will I remain for ever. I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me."

The ink-bottle heard what the paper was saying, and it laughed in its dark heart; but it never dared to approach her. And the multicoloured pencils heard her also, and they too never came near her.

And the snow-white sheet of paper did remain pure and chaste for ever, pure and chaste - and empty.

一张雪一样清白的纸片如是说："我生来纯洁无瑕，愿今后永续这份纯洁。我宁可被焚，化为灰烬，也不愿黑色玷污我，不愿脏物靠近我。"

墨水瓶听了白纸的话，在自己黑色的心中暗笑，后来便再不敢接近白纸。彩笔听了白纸的话，也再不去碰它了。

果然，这张白纸得以永续自己的洁白和纯净了：洁白，纯净，又空空如也。
