Jeanette Winterson: "Saya ingat suatu kali berjalan keluar bergandenga...

"Saya ingat suatu kali berjalan keluar bergandengan tangan dengan seorang bocah lelaki yang saya kenal, dan saat itu musim panas, dan tiba-tiba di hadapan kami ada ladang emas. Emas sejauh yang Anda bisa lihat. Kami tahu kami akan kaya selamanya. Kami mengisi kantong dan rambut kami. Kami digulung dalam emas. Kami berlari melalui ladang sambil tertawa dan kaki kami dilapisi debu kuning, sehingga kami seperti patung emas atau dewa emas. Dia mencium kakiku, bocah lelaki yang bersamaku, dan ketika dia tersenyum, dia memiliki gigi emas. Itu hanya bidang buttercup, tapi kami masih muda."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I remember once walking out hand in hand with a boy I knew, and it was summer, and suddenly before us was a field of gold. Gold as far as you could see. We knew we'd be rich forever. We filled our pockets and our hair. We were rolled in gold. We ran through the field laughing and our legs and feet were coated in yellow dust, so that we were like golden statues or golden gods. He kissed my feet, the boy I was with, and when he smiled, he had a gold tooth. It was only a field of buttercups, but we were young.
