Do they sense it, these dead writers, when their books are read? Does a pinprick of light appear in their darkness? Is their soul stirred by the feather touch of another mind reading theirs? I do hope so.

  • -- Diane Setterfield 戴安娜·赛特菲尔德

这些死去的作家,当他们的书被阅读时,他们能感觉到吗?黑暗中会不会出现一丝光亮?他们的灵魂是否被另一个读他们作品的心灵的触碰所触动?我希望如此。
