A New England Girlhoodby Lucy LarcomI dedicated this sketchTo my girlfriends in general;And in particularTo my namesake-niece,Lucy Larcom Spaulding.Happy those early days, when IShined in my angel-infancy!When on some gilded cloud or flowerMy gazing soul would dwell an hour,And in those weaker glories spySome shadows of eternity:Before I taught my tongue to woundMy conscience by a sinful sound;But felt through all this fleshy dressBright shoots of everlastingness....
盛世沉沦戴逸2002年07月01日 09:16主持人:会当凌绝顶,一览众山小,圣凯诺·世纪大讲堂。上过大学的人都知道,在大学里,如果一位教授超过了70岁,我们就不称他为教授了,为了表示对他的尊重呢,我们管他叫先生。今天主持人阿忆就给大家请来了中国人民大学图书馆的馆长,我们称他为戴逸先生,现在他就坐在我的左侧,请大家鼓掌。暴风骤雨的掌声。我没有介绍错您的头衔吧?戴逸:没有。主持人:好,咱们看一下您的履历,从您的履历当中我可能还有问题要问您,这是对大家给您一个介绍。好,戴先生是江苏常熟人,1946年考入北大历史系,您是我的前辈。后因参加学运转至红色根据地肄业,入的是河北正定华北大学,大家都知道这是人民大学的前身,学习并工作。1949年,中国人民大学已经正式成立了,戴先生任教中国人民大学。1956年,戴先生任中共党史系副主任,一个问题已经潜伏下来了,当时是副教授,又一个问题潜伏下来了。1978年...
The Soul of Manby Oscar WildeThe chief advantage that would result from the establishment ofSocialism is, undoubtedly, the fact that Socialism would relieve usfrom that sordid necessity of living for others which, in thepresent condition of things, presses so hardly upon almosteverybody. In fact, scarcely anyone at all escapes.Now and then, in the course of the century, a great man of science,like Darwin; a great poet, like Keats; a fine critical spirit, like...
Areopagiticaby John MiltonA SPEECH FOR THE LIBERTY OF UNLICENSED PRINTINGTO THE PARLIAMENT OF ENGLANDThis is true liberty, when free-born men,Having to advise the public, may speak free,Which he who can, and will, deserves high praise;Who neither can, nor will, may hold his peace:What can be juster in a state than this?Euripid. Hicetid.They, who to states and governors of the Commonwealth directtheir speech, High Court of Parliament, or, wanting such access in...
The Complete Writings of Charles Dudley Warner Volume 4by Charles Dudley WarnerCONTENTS:BEING A BOYON HORSEBACKBEING A BOYOne of the best things in the world to be is a boy; it requires no experience, though it needs some practice to be a good one. The disadvantage of the position is that it does not last long enough; it is soon over; just as you get used to being a boy, you have to be something else, with a good deal more work to do and not half so much fun. And yet every boy is anxious to b
玩不仅仅是一种活动,它更是一种带来新的活力、激发创造性的能力。 还记得这样的忠告吗?“孩子们,游戏时间结束了,回去看书吧。”我们大多数人在孩提时代就知道工作和玩是截然不同的事情。如果你在玩,就不可能顾及工作。但是如果我们要创造一个更适于工作、更有活力的工作环境,就需要大量的快乐与轻松。这是一条几乎概莫能外的准则。与此相反的另一种情形就是肯·布兰查德所谓的“紧身内衣流行病”。那会是一种令人不快的景象。一个新的环境需要更多的游戏。根据人们的习惯思维,在“全部业务”曲线中,从点A到点B的直线路径似乎更有效率。但是这样的轨迹会限制人们在必要时形成新创意的能力。自由以一种有趣的形态存在———它是一条上升的曲线———并扩展了创造的可能性(以及参与者的智慧和热情)。如果我们能够容忍一个人戴着滑稽可笑的领带出现或者旁若无人地大笑,那么就同样能够鼓励他们形成突破固有思维模式的新思...
有一次,摩尔多瓦第一任总统斯涅古尔在会见我时谈到语言问题,他自豪而幽默地说:我们比罗马尼亚更富有,因为我们除了讲罗语,还讲俄语;同时,我们也比俄罗斯更富有,因为我们除了讲俄语,还讲罗语。的确,一国人民同时讲分属拉丁语系的罗语和斯拉夫语系的俄语,不能不说是富有和值得骄傲的。 苏联解体,苏联各加盟共和国独立,赋予了各国土著民族语言以新的生机。各国纷纷宣布本民族语言为官方语言,而一改过去俄语一统天下的局面,结果出现了一批新的双语种或多语种国家。 我初到摩尔多瓦时,就对这里的双语种现象深有感触,觉得很有意思。每次列席摩议会的会议,我更会感觉到其中的趣味。因为摩规定罗马尼亚语是国语,所以人们一般都用官方语言罗文发言,但时不时有一些只会俄语的议员起来发言,张口就是俄语,所有与会者对此习以为常,也不觉得有丝毫异样而照听不误,而且主持会议的人,也随即转而用俄语来回答问题...
