The past is still the past.
My favorite faded fantasy.
《Late Fragment》
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
《迟来的断想》
尽管这样，你有没有得到
一生中想得到的？
我得到了。
你想要的是什么？
称自己为爱人，和感到自己
被这个世界爱过。
这是卡佛生前写下的最后一首诗。
