I’m sick of cautious lyricism of well-behaved lyricism of a civil servant lyricism complete with time card office hours set procedures and expressions of esteem for Mr Boss, Sir. I’m sick of the lyricism that has to stop in midstream to look up the precise meaning of a word.

  • -- Manuel Bandeira 班代拉

我厌倦了谨小慎大的抒情,厌倦了彬彬有礼的抒情,厌倦了公务员的抒情,厌倦了上班时间的考勤卡、既定的程序和对老板先生的敬意。
