In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.

  • -- W. Somerset Maugham 威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆

在乡村，夜晚的黑暗是友好而熟悉的，但在城市里，灯火通明，是不自然的，充满敌意和威胁的。它就像一只巨大的秃鹰在空中盘旋，等待时机。
