文译本里一般都译作“恒星”或“星斗”未免不够准确。意大利文译本里则直接译出了 “指引之星”的意思(è stel-guida di ogni sperduta barca)。

    4 十四行诗第75首

    第22节里柯特在贝尔尼尼的罗马少年雕像前提到的诗句：

    “无意占有或追寻其他的欢愉，除了那些你已给的，或将施的。”一句出自莎士比亚十四行诗第75首。这是一首体现亲密关系中种种负面情感的诗作（与第116首的极端理想化的爱情正好相反）。诗里将对爱人的沉迷与对食物的食欲和对财富的贪婪联系起来，使用了大量颇有情^色意义的词语("enjoyer", "treasure", "pursuing", "possessing", "had" "feasting") ，暗喻对应七宗重罪中的五种：贪婪，暴食，傲慢，色/欲和嫉妒。因此在这里更谈不上很好地翻译，只是讲个大概意思，完全无法传达原诗在词语选择上的微妙之处：

    SO 75

    So are you to my thoughts as food to life,

    Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground;

    And for the peace of you I hold such strife

    As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found;

    Now proud as an enjoyer and anon

    Doubting the filg age will steal his treasure,

    Now tio be with you alone,

    Theer'd that the world may see my pleasure;

    Sometime all full with feasting on yht

    And by and by  starved for a look;

    Possessing or pursuing no delight,

    Save what is had or must from you be took.

    Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day,

    luttoning on all, or all away.

    你之于我思绪，如同食物之于生命，

    又如那甜美四月的春雨之于大地；

    我竭力想从你那里获得安心，

    好像守财奴对他财产的心理：

    一时作为主人而得意享用，

    一时又怕时间窃贼偷走他
