Everybody knows that the arts are selfish. The Nightingale and
the Rose
At that moment a curious crack sounded inside the statue, as if something had broken. The fact is that the leaden heart had snapped right in two. It certainly was a dreadfully hard frost. The Happy Prince
Every good story-teller nowadays starts with the end, and then
goes on to the beginning, and concludes with the middle.
True love suffers, and is silent.
BAD and GRAND sound very much the same, indeed they often are the same.
I hate people who talk about themselves, as you do, when one wants to talk about oneself, as I do.
I have always been of opinion that hard work is simply the
refuge of people who have nothing whatever to
do.
The secrets of art are best learned in secret, and Beauty, like Wisdom, loves the lonely whisper.
The Young King
Yet ruled he not long, so great had been his suffering, and so bitter the fire of his testing, for after the space of three years he died. And he who came after him ruled evilly. 反高潮! The Star-Child
Kahlil Gibran
The Coming of the Ship
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
On Love
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
On Marriage
Love one another but make not a bond of love;
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
And stand together, yet not too near together. 这不就是《致橡树》吗?

“By the same power that slays you, I to am slain; and I too shall be consumed.” 敬畏
On Work
Work is love made visible.
On Joy and Sorrow
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
They (joy and sorrow) are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
On Houses
Your house is your larger body.
On Crime and Punishment
The guilty is oftentimes the victim of the injured,
And still more often the condemned is the burden-bearer for the guiltless and unblamed.
On Reason and Passion
And since you are a breath in God’s sphere, and a leaf in God’s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.
On Friendship
Your friend is your needs answered.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
On talking
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts;
And when you an no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.
On Good and Evil
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
On Beauty
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear thought you shut your ears.
The Farewell
The hunter was also the hunted.
The flier was also the creeper.
The believer was also the doubter.
SAND AND FOAM
You and the world you live in are but a grain of sand upon the infinite shore of an infinite sea.
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
Strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.
Seven times have I despised my soul:
The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy.
The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.
A sense of humour is a sense of proportion.
Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness. 美绝的句子
A great singer is he who sings our silences.
A madman is not less a musician than you or myself; only the instrument on which he plays is a little out of tune.
Every man loves two women; the one is the creation of his imagination, and the other is not yet born.
