今天在这棵柿子树下读泰戈尔的 Stray Birds-飞鸟集， 美的令我心碎。。。
我最喜欢的一些：
1: Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and
fall there with a sigh.
3: The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
4: It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.
6: If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
9: Once we dreamt that we were strangers.
We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
13: Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it
makes love to you.
22: That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.
42: You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I
had been waiting long.
55: My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach,
listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.
74: The mist, like love, plays upon the heart of the hills and brings
out surprises of beauty.
82: Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn
leaves.
102: Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for
flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
120: I feel, thy beauty, dark night, like that of the loved woman when
she has put out the lamp.
142: Let me think that there is one among those stars that guides my
life through the dark unknown.
183: The evening sky to me is like a window, and a lighted lamp, and a
waiting behind it.
192: Woman, in your laughter you have the music of the fountain of
life.
199: "I have lost my dewdrop," cries the flower to the morning sky
that has lost all its stars.
208: Let my doing nothing when I have nothing to do become untroubled
in its depth of peace like the evening in the seashore when the
water is silent.
209: Maiden, your simplicity, like the blueness of the lake, reveals
your depth of truth.
210: The best does not come alone. It comes with the company of the
all.
218: My heart has spread its sails to the idle winds for the shadowy
island of anywhere.
255: Find your beauty, my heart, from the world's movement, like the
boat that has the grace of the wind and the water.
272: I came to your shore as a stranger, I lived in your house as a
guest, I leave your door as a friend, my earth.
274: Light in my heart the evening star of rest and then let the night
whisper to me of love.
276: The day of work is done. Hide my face in your arms, Mother.
Let me dream.
277: The lamp of meeting burns long; it goes out in a moment at the
parting.
280: Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the
immortality of love.
284: Love is life in its fullness like the cup with its wine.
286: Lead me in the centre of thy silence to fill my heart with songs.
302: Thy sunshine smiles upon the winter days of my heart, never
doubting of its spring flowers.
