都是平常情感，
都是平常言語，
偶然踫著個詩人，
變幻出多少新奇詩句！

醉過才知酒濃，
愛過才知情重；——
你不能做我的詩，
正如我不能做你的夢。

~ 胡適 ~

It's all ordinary feelings,
all ordinary words.
By chance they encounter a poet,
Turning out infinite new verses.

Once intoxicated, one learns the strength of wine,
Once smitten, one learns the power of love:
You cannot write my poems
Just as I cannot dream your dreams.

September 10, 1921
