罗素的一首著名爱情诗，中文译文如下：
经历漫长的岁月
我寻求安宁
我找到狂喜，
我找到烦恼，
我找到疯狂
我找到孤独，
我找到孤寂的痛苦，
它啮噬着我的心，
但安宁我从未得到。
到了垂暮之年，行将就木，
我认识了你，
认识了你，
我找到了狂喜和安宁，
我得到了平静的休憩，
多年孤独的岁月之后
我懂得了什么是爱、什么是生命。
现在，如果我长眠不醒，
我会心满意足地离去。
英文版
Through the long years
I sought peace.
I found ecstasy, I found anguish,
I found madness,
I found loneliness.
I found the solitary pain
that gnaws the heart,
But peace I did not find.
Now, old and near my end,
I have known you,
And, knowing you,
I have found both ecstasy and peace
I know rest.
After so many lonely years
I know what life and love may be.
Now, if I sleep,
I shall sleep fulfilled.
