When You Are Old|当你老了

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, 
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars, 
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled       
And paced upon the mountains overhead,    
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.  


该照片摄于印度古德洛尔,摄影时间为2004年12月28日,在那场毁灭性的海啸袭击南亚两天之后。多达17万人在海啸中丧生。不过这幅照片讲述的只是一位受害者的故事。照片中,一位妇女发现了一位死去的亲人的遗体。请注意她留在沙地上的手印,她好像在祈求一个解释。“在一幅好的图片里,你能听到自然的吼叫和悲痛的沉寂,”《世界新闻图片》的评审员迪哥·戈德堡如斯说,“……摄影师选择了一个非常简单的构图……它表明你可以通过展示细节来描绘巨大的事件。”你在照片里注意到了什么样的细节?

This photo was shot in Cuddalore, India, on December 28, 2004, two days after a devastating tsunami struck South Asia. More than 170,000 people died, but this photo tells just one victim's story. In it, a woman has discovered the body of a dead relative. Notice her handprints in the sand and how she seems to plead for an explanation. “In a good picture you can hear the roar of nature and the silence of grief,” said World Press Photo judge Diego Goldberg.“[The photographer]…chose a very simple composition… It shows you can express huge events by showing the detail.”What detail do you notice in the photo?
