Madam Jackie vs. Miss Ella

I loved you, and perhaps I love you still;
The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished.
And yet it burns so quietly within my soul;
No longer should you feel threatened by it.
Silently and hopelessly I loved you,
At times too jealous and at times too shy.
God grant you find another who will love you
As tenderly and truthfully as I.

~a Russian poet, Aleksandr Pushkin

2002年的時候，我在NY的好友遭遇一些感情上的風風雨雨，一個追求她的男孩在失敗後，引用了俄國詩人的詩句，很有風度地寫了封email給她

重新寫下這首詩在這個站台，我想要以此詩，獻給一個我的好朋友

如果我們都有大智慧，人生也許再也沒有難處，但也許我們更失去了在經歷風霜後看到春天來臨，格外溫暖的感覺...互相鼓勵吧！
