福克纳英美文学ARoseforEmily献给艾米丽的玫瑰(英文原文+译文)
A Rose for Emily
By William Faulkner

WHEN Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men
through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out
of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old man-servanta
