Der Panther
His gaze from going through the bars
has grown so weary
that it can take nothing more.
For him it is as though there were
a thousand bars and behind the thousand bars
no world.
- Rilke
There are other bars, permanent bars of the cage
of one's life, through which one has always and will always gaze at the world. The bars of one's birth and family and ancestors, of one's school and college, of one's own secret and sinuous psychology. Has not my mind, my soul, if I have a soul, for the last 82 years been pacing up and down like the panther, backwards and forwards, behind these bars and gazing through them until, so weary, I have seen, not the world or life, but only the bars - a thousand bars and behind the
thousand bars no world?
- Leonard Woolf

此bar非彼bar, 他们说的都是什么样的bars? :)
这个bars的学问大。监狱的铁栏杆叫bars,律师的考试叫bar,司法界叫the BARS,音乐里的小节也叫bar,酒吧也叫bar,常想这些东西碰巧都是bar,同时又有某种神秘的联系,该不是天意?
所以有穷音乐家在bar里写音乐小节bar, 他喝醉了,打了人,所以就behind the bars,他请了一位刚刚通过the bars的小律师,不能保释,所以就整天behind bars and make musical bars. - Re: The Barsposted on 04/30/2003
