读完Shipping News了,我太喜欢这个结局了。
For if Jack Buggit could escape from the pickle jar, if a bird with a broken neck could fly away, what else might be possible? Water may be older than light, diamonds crack in hot goat’s blood, mountaintops give off cold fire, forests appear in mid-ocean, it may happen that a crab is caught with the shadow of a hand on its back, that the wind be imprisoned in a bit of knotted string. And it may be that love sometimes occurs without pain or misery.
如果被溺死的人能够复活,脖子断了的鸟可以重新飞翔,那有什么是不可能的呢?水或许比光更老,钻石破碎变成山羊血,山顶喷射出冰冷的火,海的中央浮现一片森林,也许被抓的螃蟹背上有一只手,也许打结的绳可以困住风。也许,爱并不总是伴随着痛苦跟悲伤。
