A wagon loaded with asters heads for the local market.

有一年夏天,我在乡间园子里修了一个长方形的花圃,种着紫菀花,花开茂盛。
I had a bed of asters last summer, that reached clear across my garden in the country. Oh, how gaily they bloomed.

当那去年冬季的寒风将紫菀花横施摧折,吹掷满地,用沾雪的脚任意践踏,并且说:「这是你们的末日。」
They caught my flowers, they slew them, they cast them to the ground, they trod with snowy feet upon them, and they said, leaving their work, "This is the end of you."
