But he never forgot, he felt the markings each morning, a ghost tattoo about her he couldn't stop describing to strangers: If there is writing in this place, he begins, it's only proof that a tribe of pens once lived here, pardoning themselves in advance for their mortal leap from a line of thinking to a half-lit field which starts under the rubric of hay and fruit trees but seems to contain much more than mere space allows, in the vicinity of sundown and all the nouns streaked with gold, drowning in drachmas, lounging in louche, leading from the eye to the distant mountain the guidebooks say is uninhabitable though behind it squats a shack which is the summer home of God, finally free from making cherries for the emperor's children; little God with his funny name for which the other students teased him so, his elaborate notes.

但他从未忘记，每天早晨他感觉得到那些印记，他忍不住要向陌生人描述她的一块幽灵般的刺青：如果这地方有写作存在，他说，那仅仅证明了有一个用笔的部落曾经在这里住过，为那致命的一跃他们自己事先道歉，从一缕思绪跃至半明半暗的原野，那原野在干草与果树的套红标题下起始却似乎容纳了比空间本身所允许的东西要多得多，在落日与所有带金纹的名词周边，淹没在古银币中，混迹于狼藉声名里，从眼前一直到导游指南称为人烟罕至的远山，隐蔽在山背后的一间密室是神的夏宫，终于从为皇帝的孩子们做樱桃的差使中脱身出来；小小的神有个其他学生们取笑的滑稽名字，他记载详尽的笔记。

Go hence; good night; and here stands all your state: Either be gone before the watch be set, or by the break of day disguised from hence: Sojourn in Mantua; I'll find out your man, and he shall signify from time to time every good hap to you that chances here: Give me thy hand;'tis late: farewell; good night.

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。
