Bed in Summer (by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850 – 1894)
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candlelight.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
望廬山瀑布 (李白)
日照香爐生紫煙,
遙看瀑布挂前川。
飛流直下三千尺,
疑是銀河落九天。
Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu (by Li Bai [701 – 762])
Sunlight streaming on Incense Stone kindles violet smoke;
far off I watch the waterfall plunge to the long river,
flying waters descending straight three thousand feet,
till I think the Milky Way has tumbled from the ninth height of Heaven.
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.
— J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
* 這句話出自 J.K.羅琳 “哈利波特:火盃的考驗”
「佛誕節」,又稱「浴佛節」,釋迦牟尼佛誕生的日子。每年的農曆4月8日,是為了紀念佛陀的誕生。
在3千多年前的古印度(現尼泊爾),有一天,摩耶夫人夢見有一匹六牙白象進入她的身體,隨後就有了身孕。母親節快樂!
Precious Stones (by Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830 – 1894)
An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood,
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven,
But a flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brilliant stone
To catch the world's desire,
An opal holds a rainbow light,
But a flint holds fire.
