我被抒情诗、短诗所吸引,在那里每一个词都必须精确。
"I am drawn to the lyric, the short poem, where every word has to be exact."
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity—it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
【译文】 宰予白天睡觉。孔子说:“他象朽木一样无法雕琢,象粪墙一样无法粉刷,我能拿他怎样?”孔子又说:“以前我看人,他说什么,我信什么;现在我看人,听他说,再看他做。因为宰予,我改了过来。”
Every human being has an essential, inborn striving toward self-actualization.
