Later, as I stood above the tide near the entrance to the pool, the promise of that rosy light was sustained. From the base of the steep wall of rock on which I stood, a moss covered ledge jutted seaward into deep water. In the surge at the rim of the ledge the dark fronds of oarweeds swayed smooth and gleaming as leather. The projecting ledge was the path to the small hidden cave and its pool. Occasionally a swell, stronger than the rest, rolled smoothly over the rim and broke in foam against the cliff. But the intervals between such swells were long enough to admit me to the ledge and long enough for a glimpse of that fairy pool, so seldom and so briefly exposed.
后来,当我在高于海潮的水潭入口处附近站着时,四周已是瑰红色的晨光。从我立脚的峭岩底部,一块被青苔覆盖的礁石伸向大海的最深处。海水拍击着礁石周围,水藻上下左右地飘动,像皮面般滑溜发亮。通往隐藏的小洞和洞中水潭的路径是那些凸现的礁石。间或一阵强于一阵的波涛悠然地漫过礁石的 边缘并在岩壁上击成水沫。这种波涛间歇的时间足以让我踏上礁石,足以让我探视那仙境般的水潭,那平时不露面、露面也只是一瞬间的水潭。
And so I knelt on the wet carpet of sea moss and looked back into the dark cavern that held the pool in a shallow basin. The floor of the cave was only a few inches below the roof, and a mirror had been created in which all that grew on the ceiling was reflected in the still water below.
