"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." - H.L. Mencken


William Wordsworth: The World Is Too Much with Us (1807)

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

chic 回复 悄悄话 哈哈,它们有远亲不如近邻的关系~~
-- 本来诗的下面贴了一首费玉清在春晚唱的《千里之外》,可惜放不出来
agentsmith 回复 悄悄话 小声嘀咕:这“千里之外”和你zt的这首诗以及这段话有什么关联?十分好奇的额问.
