Sometimes i think i am in northumberland , and that the noises i hear round me are the bubbling of a little brook which runs through deepden , near our house ; - then , when it comes to my turn to reply , i have to be awakened ; and having heard nothing of what was read for listening to the visionary brook , i have no answer ready 我进入了一种梦境，有时我以为自己到了诺森伯兰郡，以为周围的耳语声，是我家附近流过深谷那条小溪源源的水声，于是轮到我回答时，我得从梦境中被唤醒。而因为倾听着想象中的溪流声，现实中便什么也没有听到，我也就回答不上来了。 ”
