憂傷與喜悅

沮喪時更要讀詩。感染的速度跟打疫苗的速度，也是憂傷與喜悅的交替。

Sorrow and joy

Sorrow and joy alternating

like water and vapour and ice

sorrow and joy from the same substance.

We knew

Love and unlove, two colours

in a single rose, it's wonderful

an achievement of the rose's cultivator

whose name stays with the rose

Many years later we met again

without pain, each of us with our tranquility

That was the Garden of Eden

but it was also hell
