把这一句，留给此刻的你

We have lavished the ocean on you in vain, In vain the sun that was seen by Whitman’s astounded eyes; You have spent your years and you have spent yourself, But you haven’t written the poem yet.

我们把海洋挥霍在你们身上，却枉费了力气，枉费了惠特曼那双惊愕的眼睛所看到的太阳;你度过了你的岁月，也度过了你自己，但你还没有写这首诗。

— Jorge Luis Borges 豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯
