Her eyes were shut. If it was not for the fact you could see her breathing - and the odd flutter of her eyelid - she could indeed have been a body in a -mortuary.

And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall, there with a sign.
秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息一声,飞落在那里。
Having a little flutter is much more fun when you don't have to wade though a shop of drunks and ne 'er-do-wells.
保持着一点小小的焦躁,要比穿过一个到处都是醉鬼和游手好闲的家伙的店铺要好的多。

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
夏天的飞鸟,飞到我窗前唱歌,又飞去了。秋天的黄叶,他们没有什么可唱的,只是叹息一声,飞落在那里。——泰戈尔。
