Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
However mean your life is，meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard is not so bad as you looks poorest when you are fault-finder will find faults in your life，poor as it may perhaps have some pleasant，thrilling，glorious hourss，even in a setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there，and have as cheering thoughts，as in a town’s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of be they are simply great enough to receive without think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest h should be more ivate poverty like a garden herb，like not trouble yourself much to get new things，whether clothes or friends，Turn the old，return to gs do not change;we your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的.時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂裡也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，儘管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院裡，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那裡去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
A Grain of Sand一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布萊克
To see a world in a grain of sand，
And a heaven in a wild fllower，
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand，
And eternity in an hour.
從一粒沙子看到一個世界，
從一朵野花看到一個天堂，
把握在你手心裡的就是無限，
永恆也就消融於一個時辰。
Feeling in SnowAs soon as I walked outside, I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill overwhelming my skin, inside I was warm. I felt as though I could be giving off heat; I had the desire to stay out in this freeze for hours. It was the type of day that speaks to you through its elements; I took a deep breath to hear more snow was coming.
As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so beautiful, so serene. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold and I along with it. Or maybe I was the only one unpaused…Either way, the solitude was comforting, and I sensed myself floating away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All there was to hear was the wind rushing over the top of my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of nature, trying not to be forgotten.
It did start to snow. None of those little flurries, but big, fat flakes which clung immediately to their surface.
Then it was time to go and my reverie had to end. As I began walking again, I drifted back into this time frame, calm and cleared.
Now if only I could remember where I was going.
中文翻譯：
剛出門，便撲面而來一大片晶瑩雪白的冰涼。冷氣襲來，肌膚陣陣戰慄，而內心卻溫暖如初。覺得自己似乎能發熱，因而渴望在這寒冷中長時間駐足。這是一個大自然與你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口氣，靜聽雪花飄落，源源不絕。
漫步雪中，舉目四顧，我努力思索是什麼竟然能夠把這一天變得如此美麗和寧靜。那一刻，時間彷彿靜止了，而我也定在其中。或者，只有我一個人在前行……
無論如何，這種孤寂卻令人欣慰。我彷彿脫離了塵世。坐在路邊，仔細聆聽。只有風從頭頂掠過，捲走幾碼遠的乾枯樹葉。在我心中，這是大自然給人安慰、令人難忘的聲音。
真的下雪了!不是零星小雪，而是鵝毛大雪，一落地就凝結在一起了。
該結束沉思離開了!我舉步前行時，思緒又轉回到現實中來，而此時感覺如此平靜，如此清新。
我實在記不得我要往何處去了!
