Up out of the lampshade, startled by the overhead light, flew a large nocturnal butterfly that began circling the room. The strains of the piano and violin rose up weakly from below.

不过，已经有年头了，有人用石墨笔写下这四行诗，字迹在雨水和尘土下逐渐漫湮了，或许今日已然消失：他安息。尽管他的命运很离奇，他要活。他死去，只因失去天使；事情自然发生，再也简单不过，就像白天过去，夜幕便要降落。
原文：Only, many years ago, a hand wrote upon it in pencil these four lines, which have become gradually illegible beneath the rain and the dust, and which are, to-day, probably effaced: Il dort.

It is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
