We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.

  • -- Joseph Roux 约瑟夫·鲁克斯

我们称失去父亲的人为孤儿;一个失去妻子的鳏夫。但是,这个人知道失去朋友的巨大痛苦,我们用什么名字称呼他呢?在这里,每一种语言都是沉默的,在无能为力中保持着平静。
