千裏之外

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." - H.L. Mencken


William Wordsworth: The World Is Too Much with Us (1807)

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

chic 回複 悄悄話 哈哈,它們有遠親不如近鄰的關係~~
-- 本來詩的下麵貼了一首費玉清在春晚唱的《千裏之外》,可惜放不出來
agentsmith 回複 悄悄話 小聲嘀咕:這“千裏之外”和你zt的這首詩以及這段話有什麽關聯?十分好奇的額問.
