妻生前不容花花草草进门,惟对艾蒿情有独钟,每年端午节都要去集市买一束。艾蒿原先是挂在门上的,换成铁门后,再无处挂它。妻说,就系在窗格子上吧。这倒也妙,让窗上多一抹新绿,屋里添一点野意。出于好玩,系它时我将之作了些“艺术”修理:使枝条斜向里弯曲,使叶子蓬蓬松松奓开,看上去,如一束绿色的花。 Before she was born, she could not spend her time at the door, but she had a soft spot for Artemisia, and went to the market every year to buy her a bundle. Artemisia was originally hung on the door, replaced by iron gate, no place to hang it. Wife said, tied to the window pane on it. This is wonderful, let the window a touch of fresh green, house a little wild. For fun, when it was done, I made some “art” repairs: bending the branches obliquely inwards, making the leaves puffy and open, looking like a bunch of green flowers.
