1. 你的靈魂經常是個戰場,
你的理智和判斷.
你的感情和慾念在其中交戰
《先知‧理智與感情1》
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield,upon
which your reason and your judgment wage
war against your passion and your appetite

2. 你的理智和感情是你航行海上
的靈魂的舵和帆但帆與舵
若損壞任何一個,
你就只能在海上翻騰漂流,
或是滯留在大海當中
《先知‧理智與感情2》
Your reason and your passion are the rudder
and the sails of your seafaring soul
If either your sails or your rudder be broken,
you can but toss and drift,
or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas

3. 因為單是理智支配你時,
它是一種限制的力量;
而感情如不加留意,
就會成為焚毀自己的火焰
《先知‧理智與感情3》
For reason,ruling alone,is a force
confining;
and passion,unattended,is a flame
that burns to its own destruction

4. 就讓你的靈魂提升理智到感情的高度,
使它歌唱;
並且用理智引導你的感情,
使你的感情能日日復生,
像從自己的灰燼中升起的鳳凰
《先知‧理智與感情4》
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to
the height of passion,that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason,
that your passion may live through its own daily
resurrection,and like the phoenix rise above its
own ashes
