In the dry season these dead plants can increase the danger of fires.

VOA: special.2009.08.19

Bitter constraint, and sad occasion dear, Compels me to disturb your season due: For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime... Milton is lamenting, once again, that Milton has been compelled to begin writing.

因为亲友的惨遇，痛苦的重压，迫使我前来扰乱你正茂的年华：,利西达斯死了，死于峥嵘岁月。,弥尔顿再一次哀叹道，他是不得以写这首诗的。
