---原文---
Something unexpected seemed to clear away between us, fore, for a second, it seemed there was absolutely no difference in age between us, just two men kissing, and even this seemed to dissolve, as I began to feel we were not even two men, just two beings. I loved the egalitarianism of the moment. I loved feeling younger and older, human to human, man to man, Jew to Jew. I loved the night-light. It made me feel snug and safe. As I'd felt that night in the hotel bedroom in Oxford. I even loved the stale, wan feel of my old bedroom, which was littered with his things but which somehow became more livable under his stewardship than mine: a picture here, a chair turned in to an end table, books, cards, music.

某個預料之外的東西在我們之間消失，這瞬間，我們之間再也沒有年齡差距，只是兩個接吻的男人，然而這也消失了，我開始感到我們不是兩個男人，而是兩個生命。我愛此時此刻的平等。我愛我們同時變得年輕也變老的感覺，人對人，男人對男人，猶太人對猶太人。我愛那盞夜燈，它讓我感到舒適與安全，如同那晚在牛津的飯店房間裡一樣。我甚至愛我舊房間那陳舊黯淡的氣氛，到處都是他的東西，比起我睡在這裡的時候，在他的打點下房間變得更加宜居：這裡有張圖、那裡有張被當作茶几的椅子、幾本書、幾張卡片和唱片。
