把这一句,留给此刻的你
And because I was a poet, and because the public praised me, With their critical deductions for the modern writer’s fault ; I could sit at rich men’s tables,---though the courtesies that raise me, Still suggested clear between us, the pale spectrum of the salt.
因为我是一个诗人,因为公众赞扬我,因为他们对现代作家的错误作了批判性的推论;我可以坐在有钱人的桌子旁,尽管我所受到的礼让,在我们之间仍然清晰地显示出那淡淡的咸味。
