時有能言小缶來,善齊物論語相開:“若知天下無同異,窳器何輸大匠才”?
注:○善齊物論:《莊子》有《齊物論》篇。原文之小缶,執(zhí)伊斯蘭蘇菲教派之泛神說,譯文以齊物說擬之也。語相開:蘇軾《減字木蘭花·彭門留別》:“一語相開,匹似當初本不來。”○同異:《莊子·天下》:“大同而與小同異,此之謂小同異;萬物畢同畢異,此之謂大同異?!薄鹪脑疲骸胺狡鋾r,有多言者,或一蘇菲派之小缶也,慍怒曰:陶器與陶工何為哉?君試告我:孰為陶工?孰為陶器?”今以齊物說擬之,故語多曠達也。
Whereat some one of the loquacious Lot—
I think a Súfi pipkin—waxing hot—
"All this of Pot and Potter—Tell me, then,
Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?"
