第10章 The Night Sky

There was once a widow

Ever was she garbed in black;

Hard-worn and ridden with holes

She chanced upon a lover one bright day

But he was a man averse to the confines of walls,

And the seeming constraints of roofs

And she was not one to let slip a rare chance

So,she shrouded the sky with her garb

And it became night,moonlit and starry.

夜空

曾有一位寡妇

她总是穿着黑色外衣

这衣服已经穿得如浆纸般坚硬，布满破洞

在一个晴朗的日子里，她偶遇一位情夫

这个男人素来厌恶围墙的禁锢

和屋顶那形同虚设一般的约束

而她也从不任由难得的机会溜走

因此，她用自己的衣服遮蔽了天空

于是这衣服就变成了夜、月与繁星
