A Grain of Sand
一粒沙子
William Blake
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,
把握在你手心裏的就是無限,
永恒也就消融於一個時辰。
第二篇:Love Your Life
熱愛生活
Henry David Thoreau
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The 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 palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

第三篇
The pure.the bright,the beautiful, 一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
That stirred our hearts in youth, 強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
The impulses to wordless prayer, 推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
The dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;
The longing after something's lost, 在失去後為之感到珍惜的,
The spirit's yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
The striving after better hopes- 為了更美好的夢想而奮鬥著的-
These things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
The timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手,
A brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時候,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour 傷慟、困難的時候,一句親切的話
That proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心;
The plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫,
When justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時候,
The sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--
These things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand 在人間傳遞溫情
Must find some work to do ; 盡你所能地去做;
Lose not a chance to waken love- 別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
Be firm,and just ,and true; 為人要堅定,正直,忠誠;
So shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀著你的那道光芒
Beam on thee from on high. 就不會消失。
And angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----
These things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
