我来谈谈自己对东方的看法。我透视了它的神秘之处，认清了它的灵魂；但现在,我总是从一只小救生艇的视角看东方：清晨望去，远处高峻的青山轮廓尽收眼底；中午望去，高山恍如薄雾；黄昏望去，高山像一堵凹凸不平的紫墙。我觉得自己手中似乎仍握着木桨，眼前似乎又出现了灼热的蓝色大海。我好像看到了海湾，一个宽敞的海湾，平如镜，亮如冰，在黑暗中闪着微光。
在远处阴暗的陆地上，有一盏红灯闪亮，夜色温柔多情。我们挥动酸痛的手臂吃力地划桨，一阵清风突然吹来。宁静的夜晚，这阵来风微温微薰，送来花草树木的奇异芳香———这是东方吹在我脸上的第一口气。我是永远不会忘怀的。这股气息来无影去无踪，令人着迷，像魔术，又像是窃窃私语般、充满神秘愉悦的承诺。
And this is how I see the East. I have seen its secret places andhave looked into its very soul; but now I see it always from a small boat, a high outline of mountains, blue and afar in the morning; like faint mist at noon; a jagged wall of purple at sunset. I have the feel of the oar in my hand, the vision of a scorching blue sea in my eyes. And I see a bay, a wide bay, smooth as glass and polished like ice, shimmering in the dark. A red light burns far off upon the gloom of the land, and the night is soft and warm. We drag at the oars with aching arms, and suddenly a puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odors of blossoms, of aro-matic wood, comes out of the still night--the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.
