J. S. Bach: F# Minor Toccata英文诗词欣赏

　　J. S. Bach: F# Minor Toccata

　　by Bill Holm

　　This music weeps， not for sin

　　but rather for the black fact

　　that we must all die， but not one

　　of us knows what comes after.

　　This music leaps from key to key

　　as if it had no clear place to arrive，

　　making up its life， one bar at a time.

　　But when you come at last to the real theme，

　　strict， inexorable， and bleak，

　　you must play it slow and sad，

　　with melancholy dignity， or you miss

　　all its grim wisdom.

　　In three pages， it says， the universe collapses，

　　and you——still only halfway home.
