My obsession with time informs my poetry so completely it is hard for me to summarize it. We want time to pass, for new things to happen to us, we want to hold on to certain moments, we don't want our lives to end.

  • -- John Barton 约翰·巴顿

我对时间的痴迷使我的诗歌如此完整,以至于我很难总结它。我们想要时间流逝,让新的事情发生在我们身上,我们想要抓住某些时刻,我们不希望我们的生命结束。
