tears and laughter 纪伯伦 2176Words 2018-03-20
On the bank of a small river with gurgling water.The willows are Yiyi, and the green shade is everywhere.A farmer's son sat under the shade of a tree, staring at the quiet running water in front of him.The young man grew up in the field since he was a child, where everything seems to be in love: the leaves on the trees embrace each other;There, the whole of nature is fascinating and overwhelming.The twenty-year-old young man saw a young girl sitting among the girls at the spring yesterday.He fell in love with her.Later, when he learned that the girl was the Emir's princess, he blamed his own heart, and blamed his feelings.But blame can't make that heart give up love, and complaining can't get rid of that infatuation.Man is dominated by his heart and emotions, like a tender twig, unable to hold himself in the wind blowing from south to north.

The young man saw the violets nestled next to the marguerite; he heard the night camp and Zhu Wuzai talking heart-to-heart.Then he wept, feeling how alone he was!Love, like a dream, floated before his eyes.Then tears welled up in his eyes, and emotion came to his tongue: "Ah! This love is ridiculing me, making me a laughing bucket, and leading me into this dilemma--hope is considered a defect, ideals are considered base. The love I admire has lifted my heart to Egypt. The palace of the Mill, but set me aside in the huts of the cottages. This love brought me to a fair fairy, so noble, that all men flocked to her. O love! I bowed my head and stood In front of you, what do you want me to do? I have followed you through fire and water, and the raging flames burned me; you opened my eyes, but what I saw was darkness; you made me speak, but Every sentence is full of sadness and lamentation. Love! Missing has hugged me tightly, and it will not leave without a lover's kiss. Love! You know that you are strong and I am weak, but why? Torture me so hard? You are fair, I am innocent, why do you bully me? Only you are my backer, but why do you destroy me? My existence depends on you, but why do you abandon me If my blood does not flow according to your will, you can pour it out! If my feet don’t go in your way, you can let it paralyze! Do with this body what you will, but please let my mind be in Find joy and ease in the fields under your wings... Rivers rush toward their lovers—the sea; flowers greet their lovers—the sun with smiles; In the arms of the ravine. And although there are things in me that the rivers are unknown, the flowers are unheard, and the clouds and rains are incomprehensible, I suffer alone and suffer from unrequited love, far away from the one I love-she doesn't want me in her father's army Be an ordinary soldier, and don't want me to be a follower or servant in her palace."

The young man was silent for a while, as if he wanted to learn the ability to speak from the gurgling of the river and the rustling of branches and leaves, and then said: "You—the sweetheart whom I dare not call by name, the noble curtain and the solemn palace make it difficult for us to meet; you—the fairy whom I can only hope to meet in the eternal heaven where everyone is equal , men bow before you, swords obey your command, treasuries and monasteries open their doors for you! Thou hast possessed a heart, in which there is but holy love; Thou hast enslaved a soul, and God hath honored it; You have driven mad the mind of a man, which yesterday was free in the fields of freedom, is now a prisoner, and love is what binds him. Ah, beautiful girl! I know why I am when I see you. To come into this world; know your dignity, look at my lowliness, I know God has some secrets that mortals can't understand, He has some ways to bring the soul to such a state--Love is not according to human Laws and regulations to make judgments. When I look into the eyes of the work, I firmly believe that life is a paradise, and its gate is the human heart. When I see your dignity and my humbleness are like giants fighting with tigers and wolves. I knew it, the earth would hold me no longer. When I found you among your companions sitting there like a rose in a meadow, I thought the bride of my dreams had become like me People are so specific; but when I realized your father's glory and wealth, I realized that before I picked the roses, the thorns would prick my hands with blood, and everything gathered in the dream would be smashed to pieces when I woke up ..."

At this moment, he stood up, walked downcastly and disheartenedly to the fountain, and uttered these lamentations in grief and despair: "Help me, Death! This earth, where the thorns smother the fragrance, has no room for me. Get me out of this life!--it deposes the Queen of Love, and puts Riches on her glorious throne. Death! Quickly let me get rid of this world! Compared with this world, the meeting of lovers should be in the eternal kingdom of heaven. God of death! I will wait for my lover there and join her there." It was dusk now, and the setting sun was beginning to draw back her golden frieze from the fields.The young man went to the spring and sat down.Tears flowed down like a stream, dripping onto the ground where the princess's feet had stepped on; the young man's head hung on his chest, as if to stop his heart from beating out of his chest.

At this moment, a girl walked out from behind Liu Lin, hugging her skirt on the grass.She stood beside the young man, putting her soft and slender hands on his head.He looked back at her, his expression was like a person who was suddenly awakened by the rising sun in his sleep.He saw the princess standing before him, as if Moses had seen the thornbush burning before him, and immediately bowed his knees. The girl embraced him, kissed his lips, sucked his tears, and kissed his eyes.She slightly opened her lips and opened her mouth, her voice was softer than a reed flute: "Darling! I have seen you several times in my dreams, and I have gazed at your face in my solitary confinement. You are the mate of my lost soul, the one who left me when I was destined to come to this world. The other half of my beautiful self. My dear! I sneaked out of the deep palace to have a tryst with you, meet, ah! Now you are in my arms, in front of me. Don't be anxious! Father's Glory and riches have long since been left aside, and I have followed you to the ends of the earth: let us drink the fine wine of life, and swallow the bitter wine of death together. Rise up, my dear! Let us go to the wilderness, far away from this world. !"

A couple walked among the trees, and the night fell to cover them.The Emil's cruelty did not frighten them, nor did the dark phantom frighten them. On the outskirts of the kingdom, Emil's scouts found two corpses, one of which had a gold necklace around its neck.In front of the corpse, on a stone, engraved these last words: "Love brings us together, who can separate us? Death has taken us, who can bring us back?"
