11.You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.

11.你含笑不语，为了这我已等待很久。

12.The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.
12.水里的鱼是沉默的，地上的兽类是喧闹的，空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的；但是人类却兼有了大海的沉默、地上的喧闹与天空的音乐。

13.The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness.
13.“世界”在踌躇之心的琴弦上跑过去，奏出忧郁的音乐。

14.He has made his weapons his gods. When his weapons win he is defeated himself.
14.他把他的武器当做他的上帝。当他的武器获胜时他自己却失败了。

15.God finds himself by creating.
15.神从创造中找到他自己。
