When You Are Old
——William Butler Yeats

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
0 ]8 x- ?  m( v7 O! r3 LAnd slowly read,and dream of the soft look,
  ]4 K/ K5 _, i) x# X0 ^Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
. ?' Z% Y0 I; W. V
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
1 z- s2 [3 |0 h( x' m, k# HAnd loved the sorrows of your changing face.

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love flad
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
+ F, z" q! u/ ]And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

初中的时候，在疯狂英语上面看过这首词，当时不觉得有什么感觉。

~~~~~~爱一个人朝圣者的灵魂，爱慕着她被岁月折磨的容貌~~~~~~~~

不知道有谁又愿意老的时候，白发苍苍，在炉火边取下这部的诗集，
3 R8 ?6 f  |; ]8 ^3 Z1 u/ v慢慢地阅读，当年温软的眼神和回忆

很少人再去爱另外一个人朝圣者的灵魂
也很少人会在老的时候能够取下一部诗集回忆当年的过往~

" [5 I" _% s8 S7 z1 `9 @; B8 V
& M7 c/ H4 ?* s) _+ Y. i) _这首古诗，相信知道的人很少，当时听过的人肯定不少。

魂断蓝桥里面的主题曲就是这个古诗，《友谊天长地久》，而去年夏天热播的《欲望城市》里面，圣诞节的时候，CARRIE穿着睡衣穿过一个城市去看MARADA的时候，放的也是这首古诗，《友谊天长地久》，每一年的新年舞会，如果你有机会参加西方的GALA的话，零点钟声敲响以后，一定会响起这首名曲-------  Should auld acquanintance be forgot，  And never brought to mind? 那些相识已久的老友们就应该在时光里面逝去，再也不被提起么？~~

这首古诗是1788年在苏格兰写成的，因为他的格式简单，语言简练，很有古诗十九首的风格。但是由于现在的英语风格发生了重大的变化，这首诗不容易被读懂，因此导致了其在中国的流行程度大大打折了。但是，这首诗在西方古典文学上面的成就不亚于我们常记得那个句“劝君更进一杯酒，西出阳关无故人”。

当然，我最爱的还是SEX AND THE CITY 里面，当40岁的CARRIE，在婚礼上面被BIG抛弃的CARRIE,一个人过年的CARRIE, 在这嘶哑的苏格兰女声里面，穿着睡衣，坐着地铁，穿过曼哈顿，去看另外一个孤独地，分居的女友，MARIADA，她拥抱她的那一刻，那一句，U R NOT ALONE,重新演绎了这首古诗在我心里的感觉。

+ X& O1 n4 m6 {% X9 T# m9 V还是用CARRIE的那句话结束这首诗吧
They say, nothing last forever. Dreams change,trains come and go, but friendships, never go out of style.
