To The Cuckoo
O blithe New-comer! I have heard,
I hear Thee and rejoice,
O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird,
Or but a wandering Voice?
While I am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I hear,
From hill to hill it seems to pass,
At once far off, and near.
Though babbling only to the Vale,
Of sunshine and of flowers,
Thou bringest unto me a tale
Of visionary hours.
Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring!
Even yet thou art to me
No bird, but an invisible thing,
A voice, a mystery;
The same whom in my school-boy days
I listened to; that Cry
Which made me look a thousand ways
In bush, and tree, and sky.
To seek thee did I often rove
Through woods and on the green;
And thou wert still a hope, a love;
Still longed for, never seen.
And I can listen to thee yet;
Can lie upon the plain
And listen, till I do beget
That golden time again.
O blessèd Bird! the earth we pace
Again appears to be
An unsubstantial, faery place;
That is fit home for Thee!

時間即生命
最令人怵目驚心的一件事,是看着鐘錶上的秒針一下一下的移動,每移動一下就是表示我們的壽命已經縮短了一部分。再看看牆上掛着的可以一張張撕下的日曆,每天撕下一張就是表示我們的壽命又縮短了一天。因為時間即生命。沒有人不愛惜他的生命,但很少人珍視他的時間。如...
