Yes—the springtimes needed you. Often a star
was waiting for you to notice it. A wave rolled toward you
out of the distant past, or as you walked
under an open window, a violin
yielded itself to your hearing. All this was mission.
—Duino Elegies, Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke
是的——春日需要你。
往往，有一颗星星正等待着你的察觉。
有一阵波浪从遥远的往昔向你涌来，
抑或是，你从一扇敞开的窗户下走过，
有一段小提琴，任凭你聆听。
以上种种，皆为使命。
——《杜伊诺哀歌》莱纳·马利亚·里尔克，诗人
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
那美好的仗我已经打过了，当跑的路我已经跑过了，所信的道我已经守住了。
—《圣经》
Let's withdraw. And meet the time as it meets us.
让我们泰然自若，与自己的时代狭路相逢。
——莎士比亚
