读诗日记04

Drunken, I'm sobered by vernal wind shrill

And rather chill.

In front I see the slanting sun atop the hill;

Turning my head, I see the dreary beaten track.

Let me go back!

Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I'll have my will.

—Calming the Waves, Poet, Su Shi / Translator, Xu Yuanchong

料峭春风吹酒醒，微冷，山头斜照却相迎。

回首向来萧瑟处，归去，也无风雨也无晴。

——《定风波》苏轼，诗人（许渊冲 译）

What I Have Lived For

By Bertrand Russell

(Paragraph 2)

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.

陆游

长安市上醉春风，乱插繁花满帽红。

看尽人间兴废事，不曾富贵不曾穷。
