Back out of all this now too much for us, Back in a time made simple by the loss Of detail, burned, dissolved, and broken off Like graveyard marble sculpture in the weather, There is a house that is no more a house... And that is where he's going to take us in the poem.

回到那时对我们来说太沉重了，那个时代是由细节的遗失组成的,烧毁的，不见得，和被破坏的,像这样的天气，墓地里的大理石雕像，这是一个不再是房子的房子。,这就是诗里他要带我们去的地方。
