《追忆似水年华》是我很喜欢的作品，它的作者普鲁斯特是我很喜欢的作家。普鲁斯特因病常年不能外出，被困在家里，他埋首创作，用回忆往事和想象的虚构交织，终成巨著。几年前第一次去巴黎，下了飞机，到旅馆登记入住，然后乘地铁直奔拉雪兹神父公墓，普鲁斯特就长眠在那里。
【七律】访普鲁斯特墓
长卧市郊公墓里，死生契阔终安息。
如烟往事惜还珍，似水年华追可忆。
妙语优文出宅心，奇思冥想飞天翼。
吾之拜谒因神交，千古文章已造极。
A Visit to Proust' s Grave
Plane landing. Hotel checking in.
I then went straight to Lachaise cemetery
where you have your final resting.
Parting and reunion. Life and death.
No more and no less.
You have settled in peace.
Foretime and future rhyme.
I was in search of your past, and
how you were in search of lost time.
It was quite a quest
to bring back all that has left.
Magic words flew out of your chest.
What's gonna fly? Made up or real things?
It doesn't matter in that
your imagination has wings.
Confined to a small house
during and after life,
you'll still always inspire
'cause your work broke out of the house arrest,
went on to the mountain top,
turning into a diamond spire.
