入睡美文(17)我一无所求

I asked nothing 我一无所求 泰戈尔 I asked nothing,only stood at the edge of the wood behind the tree. 我一无所求,只站在林边树后。 Languor was still upon the eyes of the dawn,and the dew in the air. 倦意还逗留在黎明的眼上,露润在空气里。 The lazy smell of the damp grass hung in the thin mist above the earth. 湿草的懒味悬垂在地面的薄雾中。 Under the banyan tree you were m...

入睡美文(19)我为何而活(2)

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. 我以同样的热情追求知识,我想理解人类的心灵,我想了解星辰为何灿烂,我还试图弄懂毕达哥拉斯学说的力量...

Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me. Dancing with my moon-li...
