這不由得讓我想起了拉金的那首《為何昨夜我夢見了你(Why Did I Dream of You Last Night?)》:
Why did I dream of you last night?
Now morning is pushing back hair with grey light.
Memories strike home, like slaps in the face;
Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog
beyond the window.
So many things I had thought forgotten
Return to my mind with stranger pain:
Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.
The dawn was apple-green,
The sky was green wine held up in the sun,
The moon was a golden petal between.
She opened her eyes, and green
The shone, clear like flowers undone
For the first time, now for the first time seen.
