失掉的好地獄 The Good Hell That Was Lost

我夢見自己躺在牀上，在荒寒的野外，地獄的旁邊。I dreamed that I lay in bed, out in a desolate, cold wilderness, beside Hell.一切鬼魂們的叫喚無不低微，然有秩序，與火燄的怒吼，油的沸騰，鋼叉的震顫相和鳴，造成醉心的大樂，布吿三界：地下太平。All the cries of the ghosts were faint, yet orderly, blending with the roar of flames, the boiling of oil, and the trembling clang of iron pitchforks, forming a great, intoxicating music that proclaimed to the Three Realms: all is peaceful below.
