緣起緣滅
張愛玲 ( 1920~1995 )

記住了並不代表是永恆，
忘卻了也不等於沒發生；
緣起了與你攜手望蒼穹，
緣滅了桃花陪我笑春風。

Causes Arise and Cease
Chang Ai-ling (1920 - 1995)
English translation: Zhi Yue

Remembering doesn't make it forever,
Forgetting doesn't mean it didn't happen;
Causes arise, holding hands with you, gazing at the sky,
Causes cease, peach blossoms accompany me,
smiling in the spring breeze.

── from Chang Ai-ling De Qingcheng Wangshi
(The Exceedingly Beautiful Past of Eileen Chang)
