ABOUT ME

My photo
If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself. Sounds familiar? Yes, that's from Confucius and it is very true. For me, the blogs of David Lee King and 梁文道 are two informational and interesting blogs where I always have fun during the visit. They are both on "My Blog" list.

First thing to share -- "Stand and Stare"



"LEISURE"

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

-- By William Henry Davies  (1871-1940)
