: 又怕得罪了Utah州人，才借用Charles Wright的這句話呢？
: 我這樣想的原因是：我把這句話解讀成「乏善可陳，陳腔濫調。」
: 可是還沒有將它定調，因為還沒有找到出處，
: 怕失之毫釐也。
關於Charles Wright的資料，幾天來並沒有太大的進展，
倒是在《The Penguin Book of the SONNET》發現他的一首作品，抄錄如后：
COMPOSITION IN GREY AND PINK
By Charles Wright (B.1935)
The souls of the day's dead fly up like birds, big sister,
The sky shutters and casts loose.
And faster than stars the body goes to the earth.
Heat hangs like a mist from the trees.
Butterflies pump through the banked fires of late afternoon.
The rose continues its sure rise to the self.
Ashes, trampled garlands…
I dream of an incandescent space
where nothing distinct exists,
And where nothing ends, the days sliding like warm milk through
the clouds,
Everyone's name in chalk letters once and for all,
The dogstar descending with its pestilent breath…
Fatherless, stiller than still water,
I want to complete my flesh
and sit in a quiet corner
Untied from God, where the dead don't sing in their sleep.
