把这一句,留给此刻的你
Yet hope not life from grief or danger free, Nor think the doom of man reversed for thee: Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause awhile from letters, to be wise; There mark what ills the scholar’s life assail, Toil, envy, want, the patron and the jail.
然而,不要因忧愁或危险而希望生命是自由的,也不要以为人类的末日已为你逆转。书中记载了这位学者一生中所遭受的种种苦难:劳累、嫉妒、匮乏、资助人和监狱。
