Going over it again brought Helen nearer, and in the white, soft light that steals upon half sleep near morning he found himself talking to her again.  She said that he was perfectly right about Honoria and that she wanted Honoria to be with him.  She said she was glad he was being good and doing better.  She said a lot of other things--very friendly things--but she was in a swing in a white dress, and swinging faster and faster all the time, so that at the end he could not hear clearly all that she said. ---"Babylon Revisited", F. Scott Fitzgerald

回憶往事使他跟Helen格外親近；天濛濛亮的時候，柔和的白色亮光悄悄地照在他的身上，他似醒非醒地跟她談起話來了。她說他給Honoria的安排是再好都沒有了，她要Honoria跟他在一起。她說她感到挺高興，因為他一直規規矩矩，而且做得越來越好。她還說了許多話－－非常親密的話－－可是她穿著白衣服坐在鞦韆上，鞦韆越盪越快，所以最後她說的那一切他都聽不清楚了。－－《重返巴比倫》，菲茲傑拉德
