原文：I used to think that grown up people chose to have stiff backs and wrinkles round their nose
and veins like small fat snakes on either hand
on purpose to be grand
till through the banisters I watched one day
my great aunt Etty‘s friend，who was going away
and how her onyx beads had come unstrung
I saw her grope to find them as they rolled
and then I saw that she was helplessly old
and I was helplessly young
and veins like small fat snakes on either hand
on purpose to be grand
till through the banisters I watched one day
my great aunt Etty‘s friend，who was going away
and how her onyx beads had come unstrung
I saw her grope to find them as they rolled
and then I saw that she was helplessly old
and I was helplessly young
