Lily4everThree Days to See 假如给我三天光明 (2/4) - 海伦·凯勒Day 1
If, by some miracle, I were granted three seeing days, to be followed by a relapse into darkness, I should divide the period into three parts.
On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, Mrs. Ann Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that...

But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What e...

Such certainty is beautiful, But uncertainty is more beautiful still Since they'd never met before, they're sure that there had been nothing between them. But what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways— Perhaps they've passed each other a million times? I want to ask them If they can remember— A moment face to face in some revolving door? Perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd? A curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver? ...

We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee; And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky, Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die. 亲爱的，但愿我们是浪尖上一双白鸟！流星尚未陨逝，我们已厌倦了它的闪耀；天边低悬，晨光里那颗蓝星的幽光唤醒了你我心中，一缕不死的忧伤。 A weariness comes from those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose; Ah, dream not of them, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes, Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew: For I would we were changed to white birds on the wandering foam: I and you! 露湿的百合、玫瑰梦里逸出一丝困倦；呵，亲爱的，可别梦...
