溫書遊雲記(一)We Never Said Farewell

WE NEVER SAID FAREWELL

We never said farewell, nor even looked
Our last upon each other, for no sign
Was made when we the linked chain unhooked
And broke the level line.

And here we dwell together side by side,
Our places fixed for life upon the chart.
Two islands that the roaring seas divide
Are not more far apart.

Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
(1861~1907)

一句講哂,
哀-莫大於心死...

(溫English Poetry時印象頗深的詩)
