Article 1: A Grain of Sand One grain of sand William Blake/William Black 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. Seeing a world from a grain of sand, Seeing a paradise from a wild flower, What you grasp in your hands is infinite, Eternal will melt in an hour.Article 2: Love Your Life Love life Henry David Thoreau/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, glorous 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 abve being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not abve supporting themselves by dishonest means. which shoshould 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. export your clothes and keep your thoughts. No matter how humble your life is, you have to face it, do not escape it, let alone curse it with evil words. It's not as bad as you are. When you are richest, it seems to be the poorest. Those who love to find disadvantages can also find disadvantages in heaven. You love your life, even if it is poor. Even in a poor community, you have a pleasant, happy, and glorious time. The sunset is reflected in the window of the poor community, as bright as the window of the rich family; in front of the door, the snow melts in early spring. I only see that a person who is calm can live a happy life wherever he is in the palace. Poor people in towns often lead the most independent and unruly life. Maybe they are great, so they have a clear conscience. Most people think that they are detached and do not rely on towns to support them. But in fact, they often use improper means to deal with life. They are not detached, it is not decent. Let us plant poverty like a garden flower like a sage! Don't look for new tricks, whether it's new friends or new clothes, to bother yourself. Find the old one and go back there. Everything remains unchanged. We are changing. You can sell your clothes, but keep your thoughts

The life I desired My pursuit of life That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life it offers has a homely grace. it reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indefferent, that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness. perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. there seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights. in my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not unprepared for jarged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I cocould only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen. This must be a portrayal of the lives of countless couples in the world. This style of life gives a wonderful life. It reminds people of a calm stream, winding and swimming through the green pasture, shaded, and finally injected into the vast ocean; but the sea is too calm, too Silence, too nose, you will suddenly feel inexplicable. Maybe this is just a strange idea of my own. In that era, this idea has a deep impact on me: I think it seems a little lacking in life like most people. I admit that this kind of life has social value, and I also see its orderly happiness, but the impulse in my blood is eager for a more unruly journey. there seems to be something that scares me. my heart is eager for a more thrilling life. As long as there are still changes in my life-and unknown excitement, I am willing to embark on the cliff of the strange rock and go to the beach of the dark reef. |
