《从前慢》 ——木心
记得早先少年时
大家诚诚恳恳
说一句 是一句
清早上火车站
长街黑暗无行人
卖豆浆的小店冒着热气
从前的日色变得慢
车，马，邮件都慢
一生只够爱一个人
从前的锁也好看
钥匙精美有样子
你锁了 人家就懂了

《When you are old 》
--- William Butler Yeats
when you are old and gray and full of sleep
and nodding by the fire,take down this book,
and slowly read,and dream of the soft look
your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
how many loved your moments of glad grace,
and loved your beauty with love false or true;
but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
and loved the sorrows of your changing face;
and bending down beside the glowing bars,
murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
and paced upon the mountains overhead,
and hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

《To —》
——Persy Bysshe Shelly
One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it,
One feeling too falsely disdained
For thee to disdain it;
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother ,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.
I can not give what men call love:
But will thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the heavens reject not,
And the desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow ,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow.
Persy B. Shelly

《十字路口》 ——席慕容
如果我真的爱你
我就不会忘记
当然 我还是得
不动声色地走下去
说 这天气真好
风又轻柔
还能在斜阳里疲倦地微笑
说 人生极平凡
也没有什么波折和忧愁
可是 如果我真的爱过你
我就不会忘记
就是在这个十字路口
年轻的你我 曾挥手
从此分离
