我买了一小瓶啤酒，以15美分的价格坐在长凳上，感觉就像一个老人。我刚刚目睹的场景带回了很多回忆 - 不是我所做的事情，而是我没做的事情，浪费了几个小时，沮丧的时刻和机会永远消失了，因为时间已经吃掉了我的一生，我永远也不会把它拿回来。
(I bought a small bottle of beer for fifteen cents and sat on a bench in the clearing, feeling like an old man. The scene I had just witnessed brought back a lot of memories - not of things I had done but of things I had failed to do, wasted hours and frustrated moments and opportunities forever lost because time had eaten so much of my life and I would never get it back.)
