尼克松（1995）

一切都四散了
Things fall apart
再也保不住中心
The center cannot hold
世界上到处弥漫着一片混乱
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
到处把纯真的礼仪淹没其中
And everywhere, the ceremony of innocence is lost
优秀的人们信心尽失
The best lack all conviction
坏蛋们则充满了炽烈的狂热
And the worst are full of passionate intensity
诗的结尾寓意最深刻
But it ends so beautifully ominous.
何种狂兽
What rough beast
终于等到了时辰
Its hour come round at last
懒洋洋地倒向圣地来投生？
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?

有时你不得不为和平而战斗
Sometimes you have to be willing to fight for peace,
甚至为之牺牲
and sometimes to die.
