Chapter 57

Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
 
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
 
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest¹ of the waves of light.
 
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters² gems³ in profusion⁴.
 
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.
 
光明，我的光明，充满世界的光明，吻着眼目的光明，甜沁心腑的光明！
 
呵，我的宝贝，光明在我生命的一角跳舞；我的宝贝，光明在勾拨我爱的心弦；天开了，大风狂奔，笑声响彻大地.
 
蝴蝶在光明海上展开翅帆。百合与茉莉在光波的浪花上翻涌。
 
我的宝贝，光明在每朵云彩上散映成金，它洒下无量的珠宝。
 
我的宝贝，快乐在树叶间伸展，欢喜无边。天河的堤岸淹没了，欢乐的洪水在四散奔流.
