It is so conspicuous and so individual, that pink among the coming green of spring, because the first flowers that emerge from winter seem always white or yellow or purple. 绿意盎然地春天里。桃树的粉色是如此别致。因为最先从冬天开出来地花，通常看起来都是白色或黄色地或紫色的。 Now the celandines are out, and along the edges of the podere, the big, sturdy, black-purple a...
I do not see the wrinkles and grey hair that other people see. When I look at you now, I only see your sweet tender lips and youthful sparkling eyes as we sat and had out first picnic next to that small stream, and chased each other around that big old oak tree.

On the south of the house, the eaves will stretch boldly forward, while on the north side, there will be small windows, which can be closed in spring and winter to shelter one from rain and wind, and opened in summer and autumn for ventilation. The beauty of the wut’un...

Why do I not write to you? 为什么我没有给你写信？ And you, a learned man, ask me this? 你，凭你的学识，居然会问我这个问题？ You should be clever enough to guess that I am in a happy mood because in a wood I have made an acquaintance who moves my heart in a strange way. 你准能猜到，我一切都很好；因为，简单说吧，我认识了一个人，她紧紧地牵动着我的心。 I have…...
The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, AnneMansfield Sullivan, came to me.

I would sit huddled into the wet mud, terrified, as the hails of bullets and mortars crashed down around me. I would clutch my rifle tightly to my heart, and think again of that very first day we met. I would cry out in fear, as the noise of war beat down around me. But, as I thought of you and saw you smiling back at me, everything around me would be become silent, and I w...

I might have known better； but，somehow，I had expected to see it，casting its long shadow on a public street where people came and went all day. It was a surprise to me to find it in a grave retired place，apart from the general resort，and carpeted with smooth green turf. But，the group of buildings，clustered on and about this verdant carpet： comprising the Tower，the ...
