“花堪折时直须折，莫待无花空折枝”
《促少女及时行乐》To the virgins, to make much oftime
及时采撷你的花蕾Gather yerosebuds while ye may,

"I went to the woods becauseI wanted to live deliberately ...
I wanted to live deep andsuck out all the marrow of life!
To put to rout all that wasnot life...
and not ,when I came to die,discover that I had not lived...
我步入丛林因为我希望活得有意义 ...
我希望活得深刻汲取生命所有的精髓！
把非生命的一切全都击溃 ...
以免在我生命终结时，发现自己从来没有活过... （梭罗）
The Dead Poets werededicated to “sucking the marrow out of life”
古诗人都致力于“汲取生命中的精髓”。
ThoreauWhitmanShelley
We don't read and writepoetry because it's cute. We read and write
poetry because we aremembers of the human race. And the human
race is filled withpassion. And medicine, law, business,engineering,
these are noble pursuits andnecessary to sustain life. But poetry,
beauty，romance, love,these are what we stay alive for．
我们读诗写诗，并非为它的灵巧。我们读诗写诗，因为我们是人类的一员，而人类充满了热情。
医药,法律,商业,工程,这些都是高贵的理想,并且是维生的必需条件。
但是诗,美,浪漫,爱,这些才是我们生存的原因。
To quotefrom Whitman：“O me, O life of the questions of theserecurring, of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities filledwith foolish. What good amid these, o me , o life? Answer: that youare here. That life exists, and identity. That the powerful playgoes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
引用惠特曼的诗
啊!自我，啊!生命／这个问题总是不停地出现／毫无信仰的人群川流不息／城市充斥着愚昧／生活在其中有什么意义／啊！自我！啊！生命！／回答因为你的存在／让生命存在，使其合一／因为富有生命活力的戏剧在继续／因为你可以奉献一篇诗歌／因为富有生命活力的戏剧在继续／因为你可以奉献一篇诗歌。
