tears and laughter 纪伯伦 1339Words 2018-03-20
The sun draws its golden afterglow from the gardens where the trees grow.The moon rises from the horizon, and it is as clear and soft as water.I sat under the bushes and watched the ever-changing sky.From among the graceful branches and leaves, I looked up at the sky full of stars, as if countless silver coins were scattered on the vast and boundless blue carpet; I listened carefully, and there was the sound of running water from a mountain stream in the distance. The night birds flew into the forest, the flowers closed their eyes, and there was silence all around.At this time, I heard a light footstep on the grass.I looked back.I saw a pair of young men and women walking over.They were sitting under a tree with dense foliage, they couldn't see me, but I could see them both clearly.

The young man looked around first, and then he heard him say: "Sit down, my dear, please sit beside me. Smile! Because your smile symbolizes the infinite beauty of our future. Please be happy Because the years are happy for us. It seems to me that you still have doubts in your heart, and doubts in love are a sin, my dear! Soon this wide land under the moonlight will be yours, this The mansion is no less than a king's palace, and it will be yours. My steed and steed will drive you around; Smile like the gold in my treasury! Look at me, look at me like my father's jewels. Listen, my dear! My heart will pour out its heart before you. We will To celebrate our honey-years, we can take a lot of money and spend our honey-years by the lakes of Switzerland, in the parks of Italy, in the palaces of pharaohs on the banks of the Nile, under the green fir trees and in the jungles of Lebanon. You will Meet princesses and ladies, you are so rich in jewels that even they will be jealous of you. All this is what I want to dedicate to you, are you satisfied? Oh! How sweet you smile! Your smile is like my destiny Generally smiling."

After a while, I saw them walking slowly, their feet trampling on flowers, as if the rich man's feet trampled the poor man's heart. They disappeared into the darkness, but I was still thinking about the place of money in love.It occurred to me that money is the root of all evil for human beings, and love is the source of happiness and light. Thinking about it made me feel at a loss.At this moment, two figures passed in front of me, and then sat on the grass not far away.Another pair of young men and women, they come from farmhouses and fields.There was a moment of silence at first, and now silence speaks louder.Then I heard the words followed by a deep sigh.It was the consumptive youth who spoke: "Dry your tears, my dear! Love brightens our eyes, makes us its servants, and endows us with tenacity. Dry your tears Tears! Be glad that we have formed a holy union in the worship of love. For love sweet and pure, we can bear all pain and misfortune, parting and poverty. I will fight the years, until Get a decent fortune to lay before Thee to help us through all the stages of life. Dear! The Lord is the embodiment of good love, who accepts our tears and lamentations as incense. He also This reward is the fate we deserve. Farewell, dear! I must go before the moon goes down!"

Then I heard soft whispers, mixed with fiery gasps.That voice came from a tender maiden, and she read into it all that was in her heart—the fervor of love.The pain of parting and the everlasting sweetness, she said: "Good-bye, my dear Hu Then, they broke up.I sat under that tree, pity seemed to be tugging at my emotions with countless hands.The many mysteries of this wonderful world really make me feel at a loss. At this time, I looked at the sleeping nature and examined it carefully, and I found something boundless in it. ~ something that money cannot buy; something that cannot be washed away by the desolate tears of autumn; Something not to be found: it is so stoic and tenacious!It survives harsh winters, blooms and grows in spring, and bears fruit in summer.I discovered that that thing is love.
