过去是一个异国；他们在那里做事的方式不同。

The stranger is close to us, insofar as we feel between him and ourselves common features of a national, social, occupational, or generally human, nature. He is far from us, insofar as these common features extend beyond him or us, and connect us only because they connect a great many people.

History is, above all else, the creation and recording of that heritage; progress is its increasing abundance, preservation, transmission, and use.

诗中的每个词本身就是一个世界。
