‘The longing grew in me, grew with every bird I saw go flying across the azure summer sky, with every cloud that sailed past me on the wind, till it turned to a deep, insistent homesickness, a yearning that went with me everywhere and could never be stilled.’
她是20世紀最優秀的試飛員之一——不僅是最優秀的女試飛員,而且無論性別。漢娜的一生評價複雜,但她在自己的回憶錄中的一段文字,卻撼動人心。
‘The longing grew in me, grew with every bird I saw go flying across the azure summer sky, with every cloud that sailed past me on the wind, till it turned to a deep, insistent homesickness, a yearning that went with me everywhere and could never be stilled.’
“深情在我心中滋長,伴隨著我看見的每一隻鳥兒飛過蔚藍的夏日天空,伴隨著風中從我身邊掠過的每一朵雲,直到它變成一種深深的、執著的思鄉之情,一種與我相伴的、永遠無法平復的思念。”
原來,在漢娜心中,天空,是家的感覺。
