黑暗中不断地听到《Ephemera》,《The Rose of the World》,《The Sorrow of Love》,当然还有《When

You Are Old》。这些都是Yeats的作品。

其中有我最喜欢的两段，一段是《Ephemera》的最后：

"Ah,do not mourn,"he said,

"That we are tired,for other loves await us;

Hate on and love through unrepining hours.

Before us lies eternity;our soulsy

Are love,and a continual farewell."

一段是《When You Are Old》的中间部分：

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

当我从黑暗中挣扎出来的时候，我正躺在一片白­色­然而意外地让我感到温馨的医院里。一位护士正拿着几本诗集对着我朗诵，这正是我在昏睡时听到的。
