  英文詩詞:To the Author of Glare

  by David Lehman

  There comes a time when the story turns into twenty

  different stories and soon after that he academy of shadows

  retreats to the cave of a solitary boy in a thriving

  metropolis where no one remembers the original story

  whic is, of course, a sign of its great success: to be forgotten

  implies you were once known, and that is something we

  can prize more than the gesture greater than the achievement:

  but I wander from the main point: the main point is one

  among many fine dots so fine you need a microscope to see them

  but then they multiply like germs: the work of the deepest cells

  is ergonomically incorrect, but effective nevertheless, like

  my footprints in the snow leading to you, wou would be my father

  if this were a dream and I on the verge of waking up somewhere

  other than home: but the hours remain ours, though they

  were gone almost as soon as they arrived, hat and coat in hand.
