王尔德和波西

王尔德和波西相恋，被波西的父亲控告鸡奸罪进了监狱。出狱后，王尔德本想回归家庭，可波西不肯。结果，王尔德选择了波西抛弃了家庭。两人也没能长久，几个月后波西离开了。王尔德最后死在巴黎的一家下等客栈里。死前的几天和房间里的墙纸过不去，说；我们之间的一个，必须走。走的是他。

波西后来也结了婚，生了孩子，也写诗。不过，婚姻很快就完了，诗也不怎么样，还因为冒犯了邱吉尔，被抓了。

但是他写给王尔德的这首诗，真是好：

昨天夜里我梦见了他，看见了他的脸，

容光焕发，没有痛苦的阴影……

我悲悼着他随风而去的言辞，

说完的神秘和被遗忘的故事，

那些原本可以被记录下来的绝妙好辞，

还有那无声的思想，就像被杀死的鸣禽，

于是我醒了过来，意识到他已经死了。

原文是：

The Dead Poet

I dreamed of him last night, I saw his face

All radiant and unshadowed of distress,

And as of old, in music measureless,

I heard his golden voice and marked him trace

Under the common thing the hidden grace,

And conjure wonder out of emptiness,

Till mean things put on beauty like a dress

And all the world was an enchanted place.

And then methought outside a fast locked gate

I mourned the loss of unrecorded words,

Forgotten tales and mysteries half said,

Wonders that might have been articulate,

And voiceless thoughts like murdered singing birds.

And so I woke and knew that he was dead.

这首诗超过了济慈的十四行。

是的，所有的爱，都会得到回答。前提是，你必须等待。时间总有办法抵达爱所不及的地方。
