DUKE VINCENTIO Be absolute for death; either death or life Shall thereby be the sweeter. Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep: a breath thou art, Servile to all the skyey influences, That dost this habitation, where thou keep'st, Hourly afflict: merely, thou art death's fool; For him thou labour'st by thy flight to shun And yet runn'st toward him still. Thou art not noble; For all the accommodations that thou bear'st Are nursed by baseness. Thou'rt by no means valiant; For thou dost fear the soft and tender fork Of a poor worm. Thy best of rest is sleep, And that thou oft provokest; yet grossly fear'st Thy death, which is no more. Thou art not thyself; For thou exist'st on many a thousand grains That issue out of dust. Happy thou art not; For what thou hast not, still thou strivest to get, And what thou hast, forget'st. Thou art not certain; For thy complexion shifts to strange effects, After the moon. If thou art rich, thou'rt p...

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher Marlowe 1599 And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flower, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle; A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold With buckles of the purest gold; A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs; And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love. The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love. 激情的牧人致心愛的姑娘 來與我同住吧，做我的愛人， 我們將共享一切歡樂； 來自河谷、樹叢、山嶽、田野， 來自森林或陡峭的峻嶺。 我們將坐在岩石上， 看牧人們放羊。 淺淺的小河流向瀑布， 小鳥唱著甜美的情歌。 我將為你用玫瑰作床， 還有上千支花束， 一頂...

The Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography What I Have Lived For Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is ...

作者與此詩介紹： 濟慈(一七九五——一八二一) 詩人濟慈只活了二十六歲，就因肺病而早逝。他出身中下層人家，生前學過醫，候診室里的淒慘景象是他熟悉的。也許是作為一種補償，他特别向往“美”——美麗的人，夜鶯，花草，田園，古詩，藝術品，整個想象世界。他自己寫下的詩行也美：意境，音韻，形象，無一不美——有時美得有點豔麗了。因此，他曾被人看成是“唯美”，甚至是“頹廢”。 其實他兩者都不是。他追求的“美”不是表面的東西，也不只是感官享受，而是有深刻的含義的，用他自己的話說： 美即是真，真即是美。 而所謂真，又是人的“想象力所捕捉住的美”。然而當時的英國正處於產業革命和法國革命的雙重激蕩之下，處處有人間苦難。濟慈對此也是有深刻感受的，而且還認為人生的最高境界必須有世界的苦難感： 誰也奪取不了這個高峰 除了那些把世界的苦難 當作苦難，而且日夜不安的人。 ——《海披里安之亡》 正是這種“日夜不安”的苦難感使得濟慈最明麗的詩行也有陰影，最甜美的音樂里也有不吉祥的敲擊聲——一邊是夜鶯唱歌，一邊是“饑餓的世代”踐踏大地的腳步聲。他是一個頭腦清醒，有強烈是非感的人，任何人只須一看他寫給弟妹和朋友們的信就知道他是一個民主...

A Monologue of Hamlet -- William Shakespeare To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary l...

YOUTH By: Samuel Ullman Youth is not a time of life - it is a state of mind, it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair - these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether they are sixteen or seventy, there is in every being's heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what is to come next, and the joy and the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair...
