第 1 句因包含“瑶池”，据此推断可能引用了典故：瑶池
波斯短歌行译笺 其三十二 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押东韵
门掩瑶池帐掩宫，遥闻高会意难通。
知谁偷得仙桃种？栽到人间一遍红。
注：○瑶池：池名，传言在昆仑，西王母居处。《史记·大宛列传》：“昆崙其高二千五百馀里，日月所相避隐为光明也。其上有醴泉、瑶池 。”《穆天子传》卷三：“乙丑，天子觞西王母于瑶池之上。”○仙桃：《汉武故事》：“东郡送一短人，……召东方朔问。朔至，呼短人曰：‘巨灵，汝何忽叛来，阿母还未？’短人不对，因指朔谓上曰：‘王母种桃，三千年一作子，此儿不良，已三过偷之矣。’”○ 原文云：“有户也，莫能得其键；有帘也，莫使见其内。亦有偶语吾汝者，倏而不复闻矣。”盖吾汝，帝与吾人也。借东方朔偷桃事衍译。
There was the Door to which I found no Key;
There was the Veil through which I might not see:
Some little talk awhile of ME and THEE
There was—and then no more of THEE and ME.
There was the Door to which I found no Key;
There was the Veil through which I might not see:
Some little talk awhile of ME and THEE
There was—and then no more of THEE and ME.
