附原文：
Imperial
by Don Paterson
Is it normal to get this wet? Baby, I'm frightened --
I covered her mouth with my own;
she lay in my arms till the storm-window brightened
and stood at our heads like a stone
After months of jaw jaw, determined that neither
win ground, or be handed the edge,
we gave ourselves up, one to the other
like prisoners over a bridge
and no trade was ever so fair or so tender;
so where was the flaw in the plan,
the night we lay down on the flag of surrender
and woke on the flag of Japan
