這是一套1994年的電影,"Four Weddings and a Funeral"《四個婚禮与一个葬禮》,其中有一幕是Matthew (John Hannah)在为他的同性戀伴侶Gareth (Simon Callow) 致悼詞,而引用了W. H. Auden的詩。
詩人Auden自己也是同性戀,他有一位年齡差頗大的年輕戀人,他深知這種超越了普世價值觀的愛情是怎樣不被人接受,但愛就是愛,當你愛上一個人,你就會為他前赴後繼,不論性別,不論種族,不論年齡。
當和相愛的人永遠陰陽相隔,那種感覺,想必就像是身體哪裡蝕了好大一塊,從傷口裡流出的不是血,而是濃濃的委屈和悲傷,很痛很痛,痛到難以呼吸,痛到世上所有的事情你都不會在乎了。
星星、月亮、森林、海洋,這一切的美好事物都變得不再有意義,你的愛人已經不在這個世界上,這個世界變得黯然失色。

停止所有的時鐘,切斷電話,
給狗一塊濃汁的骨頭,讓他別叫,
黯啞了鋼琴,隨著低沈的鼓,
抬出靈柩,讓哀悼者前來。
讓直升機在頭頂悲旋,
在天空狂草著信息他已逝去,
把黑紗系在信鴿的白頸,
讓交通員戴上黑色的手套。

他曾經是我的東,我的西,我的南,我的北,
我的工作天,我的休息日,
我的正午,我的夜半,我的話語,我的歌吟,
我以為愛可以不朽,我錯了。
不再需要星星,把每一顆都摘掉,
把月亮包起,拆除太陽,
傾瀉大海,掃除森林,
因為什麼也不會,再有意味。3109Please respect copyright.PENANASMMVDHlCEG
