第50封信 - 1953.05.03

“细品每一封信，感受日期，感受人类的长情。”

寄语

《84, Charing Cross Road》
从前的日色变得慢
车、马、邮件都慢
一生只够爱一个人

细品每一封信
感受书信的缓慢
感受人类的长情

英文原文

14 East 95th St.

May 3, 1953

Frankie, you’ll DIE when I tell you— First, enclosed find $3, P-and-P arrived looking exactly as Jane ought to look, soft leather, slim and impeccable. Now then. Ellery went off the air and I was shuffling around piling up dentist bills and feeling pale when I was invited to write an outline for a TV show which dramatizes incidents from the lives of famous people. So I rushed home and did an outline of an incident from-the-life-of-a-famous-person and sent it in and they bought it and I wrote the script and they liked it and they’er gonna give me more work in the fall. And whaddaya think I dramatized? JOHN DONNE ELOPING WITH THE BOSS’S DAUGHTER out of Walton’s Lives. Nobody who watches television has the slightest idea who John Donne was, but thanks to Hemingway everybody know No Man Is An Island, all I had to do was work that in and it was sold. So that’s how John Donne made the “Hallmark Hall of Fame” and paid for all the books you ever sent me and five teeth. I plan to crawl out of bed before dawn on Coronation Day to attend the ceremony by radio. Will be thinking of you all.

cheers
