HansoniusOf Love 培根论爱情Of Love by Francis Bacon
The stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.
You may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion...2014-08-3104 min
HansoniusEMPEROR MALGRE LUI 不自在的皇帝（溥儀）EMPEROR MALGRE LUI
不自在的皇帝
--选自《Imperfect Understanding 不够知己》温源宁 著
In the long history of mankind there have been many commoners made emperors; there have been many emperors forced to abdicate the throne;there have also been some exiled emperors who made a successful struggle back to the throne, as, in the case of Napoleon I. But there have been few, if any, instances where a man was made emperor three times without knowing why and apparently without relishing it. Believe it or not, Mr. Henry Puyi holds the world's record in the number of times that any mortal may ascend and abdicate the throne-that...2014-08-1607 min
HansoniusMeasure for Measure - Act 3, Scene 1Act 3, Scene 1
DUKE VINCENTIO
Be absolute for death; either death or life
Shall thereby be the sweeter. Reason thus with life:
If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing
That none but fools would keep: a breath thou art,
Servile to all the skyey influences,
That dost this habitation, where thou keep'st,
Hourly afflict: merely, thou art death's fool;
For him thou labour'st by thy flight to shun
And yet runn'st toward him still. Thou art not noble;
For all the accommodations that thou bear'st

HansoniusChristopher Marlowe VS Sir Walter RaleighThe Passionate Shepherd to His Love
by Christopher Marlowe
1599
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields
Woods or steepy mountain yields
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flower, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

HansoniusThe Merchant of Venice: Act 3, Scene 2 威尼斯商人 第三幕第二场The Merchant of Venice
Act 3, Scene 2
BASSANIO
So may the outward shows be least themselves:
The world is still deceived with ornament.
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt,
But, being seasoned with a gracious voice,
Obscures the show of evil? In religion,
What damned error, but some sober brow
Will bless it and approve it with a text,
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
There is no vice so simple but assumes
Some mark of virtue on his outward parts:
How many cowards, whose hearts...2014-07-3002 min
HansoniusWhat I Have Lived For by Bertrand RussellThe Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography
What I Have Lived For
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of...2014-07-2702 min

HansoniusTranslation of BoethiusTranslation of Boethius
by Samuel Johnson
O Thou whose pow'r o'er moving worlds presides,
whose voice created and whose wisdom guides:
on our dark world in purest brightness shine
and cheer the clouded mind with light Divine.
'Tis Thine alone to calm the troubled breast
with silent confidence and holy rest.
From Thee, O Lord, we spring, to Thee we tend,
Thou First and Last! Beginning Thou, and End!2014-07-2701 min
HansoniusYOUTH By Samuel UllmanYOUTH
By Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life – it is a state of mind, it is a temper of the will,
a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions,
a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease.
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.
People grow old only by deserting their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair – these are the long, long...2014-07-2702 minHansoniusTo be, or not to be (from Hamlet 3/1)To be, or not to be (from Hamlet 3/1)
by William Shakespeare
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To...2014-07-2702 min
HansoniusOde To A Nightingale 夜鶯頌 by John Keats"Ode To A Nightingale"
John Keats
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,--
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease.
O, for a draught of vintage! that hath...2014-07-2705 min
