請不要索求太多,因為我也會老。
如同你終將老去,我也只是一座逐漸垂老的山。
謝謝你長期對我的信靠,但是我還是要叮嚀你,我將老,我將老。
你的哀戚、你的怨,我聽到也看到,就如同我千古以來走過的景象。
但是,對不起,我無法感同身受,因為我有自己的路要走。
請不要怨我,我只是順天命一路老去。你所謂的天災,不過是我衰老的過程。
謝謝你長期對我的歌頌,但是我更需要一份關愛。
相信我,我只不過是一座身不由己的山,如同你身不由己一般。
─ 老農
鐘聲為誰敲響 ──
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND , ENTIRE OF ITSELF ;
EVERY MAN IS A PIECE OF THE CONTINENT , A PART OF THE MAIN .
IF A CLOD BE WASHED AWAY BY THE SEA ,
EUROPE IS THE LESS ,
AS WELL AS IF A MANOR OF THY FRIEND'S OR OF THINE OWN WERE .
ANY MAN'S DEATH DIMINISHES ME ,
BECAUSE I AM INVOLVED IN MANKIND ;
AND THEREFORE NEVER SEND TO KNOW FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS ;
IT TOLLS FOR THEE.
─ JOHN DONNE
