How can we live with peace of mind? It sounds easy, but most of us can't, because we can't be free from external interference and think too much.
This morning I went to Taiwan Business Bank to make a regular deposit, but the bank teller told me I couldn't, because my bank account was opened in 中壢 not in 青埔. It made me uncomfortable in this highly networked time. But I thought I should let it go and live in peace.
Rarely do people know about a regular deposit account is not connected between different bank branches, now I learn from it.
Sudden light 似曾相識
(Dante Gabriel Rossetti 的詩, 1828-1882)
I have been here before,
But when and how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
You have been mine before,
How long ago, I may not know:
But just when at that swallows's soar
Your neck turned so,
Some veil did fall ----I knew it all of yore.
Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flights
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield delight once more?
keen---濃郁的
Sighing---嘆息
yore---從前
thus---如此 以此方式
eddying---旋渦
eddying flights旋渦流轉
yield delight--歡欣重現
To Celia 用你的眼波和我對飲
(Ben Jonson, 1572-1637)詩人力邀美人用眼波共飲爱情
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.
I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honoring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not wither'd be;
but thou thereon didst only breathe
And sent'st it back to me;
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
Not of itself, but thee!
Key word.
thine: your, yours;
thou: you
thee: you
doth: does
nectar: 瓊漿玉液，神酒。
sup: 呷 v.
wither’ed be 是be wither’ed 的倒装；
didst: did
sent’st it: sent it.
