When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, ‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies, But keep your fancy free.’ But I was one-and-twenty No use to talk to me.

  • -- Alfred Edward Housman 豪斯曼

当我二十一岁的时候,我听到一位智者说:“给我王冠、英镑和几尼,但不要你的心脏;把珍珠和红宝石送给别人,但要保持你的想象力。“可我那时才二十一岁,根本用不着跟我说话。

Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?

因为心脏是在毛发、毛皮、羽毛或翅膀的覆盖下跳动的,所以它就不重要了吗?

If everyone were allowed to take from the world all her heart desired, there would be nothing left for anyone else.

如果每个人都能从这个世界上得到她内心想要的一切,那么其他人就什么都没有了。
