Invisible City--- Hypatia

我正在看Invisible Cities這本書,今天看到第47頁時想起Murmur,

不知道她看到這段時的反應會是什麼? 嗤之以鼻? 心有戚戚焉? 槌我一把? 哈哈大笑? 

And when my spirit wants no stimulus or nourishment save music, I know it is to be sought in the cemeteries: the musicians hide in the tombs; from grave to grave flute trills, harp chords answer one another.

這一節寫的是Hypatia這個城市,我喜歡它的結尾

True, also in Hypatia the day will come when my only desire will be to leave.
總有一天我唯一的願望是離開Hypatia

I know I must not go down to the harbour then, but climb the citadel's highest pinnacle and wait for a ship to go by up there.
我知道我不該走向海港而應該攀上城堡最高的尖塔
去守候駛過的船隻

But will it ever go by? There is no language without deceit.
可是會不會有船駛過呢?
沒有一種語言是絕對不騙人的.
