Is It Far To Go?
by Cecil Day Lewis
Is it far to go?
A step -- no further.
Is it hard to go?
Ask the melting snow,
The eddying feather.
What can I take there?
Not a hank, not a hair...2025-07-1633 min

Story-telling is the signature of humanity. And the very best stories of all come from our poets.
John Edward Masefield was a consummate story-teller. Born in Ledbury in Herefordshire, England on June 1, 1878, he lost his parents at an early age and endured an unhappy education at the King’s School in Warwick. He escaped to the sea on board the HMS Conway for two reasons, the first one being to train for a life at sea.
His second reason was more unusual: to break his addiction to r...2025-01-0802 min

Blue HumanitiesWhat are the Blue Humanities and who invented the term?From Homer's Odyssey to Shakespeare's tempestuous late plays to Melville's Moby Dick to recent writings by authors immersed in the Indian and Pacific oceans, literature has again and again gone down to the sea, to - in the words of poet John Masefield - "the lonely sea and the sky." But what can this vast body of watery wisdom teach us in times of environmental crisis and fragile oceanic ecosystems? That's the question asked by the emerging field of Blue Humanities.

Grierson, an old friend of Lindbergh’s, also paints a portrait of the man, both before and after his epic flight, exploring his reluctance for the USA to enter the war, his polar flights and his interest in wildlife conservation.

早餐英语|实用英文口语英语美文-Be Happy什么是快乐？更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 或者添加我的微信：zaocanyingyu 也就是早餐英语的拼音 送你一份我个人学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路Be Happy 快乐什么是快乐？快乐其实是一种心境，一种精神状态。物质的享受，感官的刺激，只能让人的欲望越来越多，有句话叫做“欲壑难填”，就是这个意思。纵容欲望，享受欲望的同时，你的烦恼也会越来越多。精神上的快乐，才是最高级的快乐。今天我们分享一篇英语美文-《快乐》。再次深刻体会“快乐”是一种怎样微妙而幸福的感受。“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield“快乐的日子使人睿智。”--- 约翰梅斯菲尔德When I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思？我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我无法忘怀。Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.终于，我似乎领会了他的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之间，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting yo2022-05-1903 min

In this episode we explore the boundary lines between non-human species and ourselves, boundary lines that many indigenous peoples - and our ancestors - did not see, and the ability, or not for communication to pass across that boundary. Today, for western society, it is only in children’s novels that animals can speak and be heard.
So much is invested by animals in the biology of communication and we can teach creatures about human communication but is it inconceivable that they have an ability to speak to us in their form?

BY JOHN MASEFIELD
Read by Liam Neely.
Music: Edgar Galeano
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all...2020-04-1101 min

The health of our nation is under threat. They are changing at a fast rate than ever before in human history. 我们也认识到了一个令人不快的事实，我们的海洋环境正处于威胁当中，海洋在以人类历史上前所未有的速度，不断变化着。Never has there been a crucial time to reveal what is going on beneath the surface of the seas. 我们迎来了一个最紧迫的时期，我们迫切需要揭示海底世界的情况。In this first episode, we will journ...2017-11-0708 min

莱恩茶叶蛋斯基Be Happy“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefieldwhen I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.2014-04-0902 min
