女詩人畢夏普寫了一首詩
" The art of losing isn't hard to master "
One Art
一種藝術
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
失去的藝術並不難駕馭
有太多事都有失去的意義
它們的失去並非甚麼大不了的慘劇
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
每天都在失去某些東西,
習慣於 失去鑰匙的狼狽,好幾小時因而被丟棄
失去的藝術並不難駕馭
