《沙与沫》(SandandFoam)是纪·哈·纪伯伦的散文诗集。它是纪伯伦***的作品之一，作者以自然景物"沙"、"泡沫"为比喻，寓意着人在社会之中如同沙之微小，事物如同泡沫一般的虚幻。“一花一世界，一沙**国”，在纪伯伦的故事里，四季流转，云朵变幻。生命的解答蕴藏其中，只要你善于发掘。《沙与沫》与泰戈尔的《飞鸟集》可称双璧，二者都以简短而寓意隽永的诗句，一点一滴地深入读者的心灵，而纪伯伦的《沙与沫》比起《飞鸟集》的灵动洒脱，则更显端庄大气，更具丰富的想象力，比起泰戈尔对一花一草的关注，纪伯伦往往将目光投向更显得深邃而遥远的宇宙。“对于从银河的窗户里下望的人，空间就不是地球与太阳之间的空间了。”《沙与沫》也是纪伯伦***的作品之一，本版由**文学家冰心翻译，是一本关于生命、艺术、爱情、人生的箴言书。

1.我永远在沙岸上行走， 在沙土和泡沫的中间。 高潮会抹去我的脚印， 风也会把泡沫吹走。 但是海洋和沙岸却将永远存在。 I am forever walking upon these shores, Betwixt the sand and the foam, The high tide will erase my foot-prints, And the wind will blow away the foam. But the sea and the shore will remain Forever. 2.一粒珍珠是痛苦围绕着一粒沙子所建造起来的庙宇。 是什么愿望围绕着什么样的沙粒，建造起我们的躯体呢？ A peal is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand. What longing built our bodies and around what grains? 3.当神把我这块石子丢在奇妙的湖里的时候，我以无数的圈纹扰乱了它的表面。 但是当我落到深处的时候，我就变得十分安静了。 When God threw me ,a pebble,into this wondrous lake I disturbed its surface with coun A peal is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand. 4.给我静默，我将向黑夜挑战。 Give me silence,and I will outdare the night. 5.当我的灵魂和肉体由相爱而结婚的时候，我就得到了重生。 I had a second birth when my soul and my body loved one another and were married. 6.回忆是一种相见。 忘却是一种自由。 Remembrance is a form of meeting. Forgetfulness is a form of freedom. 7.人性是一条光河，从**以前流向**。 Humanity is a river of light running from the ex-eternity to eternity. 8.除了通过黑夜的道路，人们不能到达黎明。 One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night. 9.曾有七次，我鄙视了自己的灵魂： **次是在它可以上升而却谦让的时候。 第二次是我看见它在瘸者面前跛行的时候。 第三次是让它选择难易，而它选了易的时候。 第四次是它做错了事，却安慰自己说别人也同样做错了事。 第五次是它容忍了软弱，而把它的忍受称为坚强。 第六次是当它轻蔑一个丑恶的容颜的时候，却不知道那是它自己的面具中之一。 第七次是当它唱一首颂歌的时候，自己相信这是一种美德。 Seven times have I despised my soul: The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height. The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled. The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy. The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong. The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength. The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks. And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue. 10.在人的幻想和成就中间有一段空间，只能靠他的热望来通过。 There is a space between man’s imagination and man’s attainment that may only be traversed by his longing.
