第1章 题记

Let it be forgotten,

as a flower is forgotten,

Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,

Let it be forgotten forever and ever,

Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone asks, say it was forgotten

Long and long ago,

As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall

In a long-forgotten snow.

——Sara Teasdale 作

把它忘掉吧

像忘掉一朵花

像忘掉熔炼过黄金的火焰

把它永远永远地忘掉吧

时间是仁慈的朋友

终会使我们变老

如果有人问起,就说已经忘记

在很早很早的往昔里

像花,像火

像无声的足迹

在早被遗忘的雪中

——小狮 译
