Burnt Norton是Lana Del Rey的歌曲,收录在其专辑Honeymoon中。其实此曲来源于一首诗歌,名字也为Burnt Norton,中文译为《烧毁的诺顿》。《烧毁的诺顿》是诺贝尔奖获得者艾略特晚期代表作的《四个四重奏》其中的一首。《四个四重奏》四首分别是对现在、过去、未来及时间整体的救赎问题的思想与体悟,《燃毁的诺顿》则集中于“时间现在”。《燃毁的诺顿》指一座英国乡间住宅的玫瑰园遗址。
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden
