The poem is an act of the mind, not a transcription of the world.
A farmer’s greatest asset is patience—nature does not rush, yet everything is accomplished.
Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this—no dog exchanges bones with another.
人是会讨价还价的动物:没有其他动物会这样做——没有狗会与另一只狗交换骨头。
每一个冠军都曾是拒绝放弃的竞争者。
没有人是有极限的。
