Picture writing where every word has been weighed — the line breaks where it breaks on purpose, the sound matters as much as the meaning, and a lot is said in very little. Once you have that feeling in your ear, English lends it to things that are not written at all: a movement so beautifully done that it feels composed rather than just performed.

可以想成:一種每個字都被秤過重量的寫法——哪裡斷行是故意的,聲音跟意思一樣要緊,用很少的話裝很多東西。一旦耳朵抓住了那個感覺,英文就把它借給根本不是文字的東西:一個動作漂亮到讓人覺得那不只是做出來的,而是「寫」出來的。
