地球之孤獨 The Solitude of the Earth

令他地球處無數光年，惟傾人力所不能及，祇是兩相遙望，莫非悵然。且他地球於光景及此之時，復經無數年紀，如今影像，不過從前，所以已見之友，必已去焉；未見之友，未必無焉，是吾友之不契，唏噓之落落。

Even if there is another earth at a place several light-years away, since we cannot meet with it by human effort, we can only look at each other distantly, and this makes us depressed. Moreover, the other earth, when its light arrives here, must have gone through several ages, and its scene we see now is its past scene, thus, if we see a friend there, he must have left; if we do not see a friend there, there must not have been none, and this makes us sigh, for we keep missing each other, again and again.
