历史上,很少有哪个女人能像杰奎琳·肯尼迪一样,如此吸引众人的目光。从她入住白宫的那一天起,就以她作为年轻母亲的风范和第一夫人的睿智和魅力征服了国内外的政府首脑,也赢得了全世界各国人民的喜爱。事实上,也正是杰奎琳身上所表现出来的勇气和高贵的品质,使得人们奉她为偶像! 她出生在东汉普顿,一个迷人的海滨城市,生下来就拥有美丽的家园、心爱的马匹、深爱的家人和书籍,深受奥黛利·赫本、纪凡希和香奈尔等高贵事物的熏陶。 孩童时代,她把大量时间花费在阅读契诃夫、肖伯纳等人的著作上;少年时代,华尔兹、伦巴舞更是给了她优雅的气质;长大后,她的阅读兴趣开始转向莎士比亚、威廉·巴特勒·叶芝、萨特,甚至是迪派克·乔浦勒的作品,她是那么的喜欢看书,如果会有不同的生活道路的话,她说不定会是一个成功的作家。 但她选择了嫁给了肯尼迪,生命就注定了不平庸。当丈夫当选为总统时,31岁的杰奎...
Shelley : AN ESSAYby Francis ThompsonThe Church, which was once the mother of poets no less than ofsaints, during the last two centuries has relinquished to aliens thechief glories of poetry, if the chief glories of holiness she haspreserved for her own. The palm and the laurel, Dominic and Dante,sanctity and song, grew together in her soil: she has retained thepalm, but forgone the laurel. Poetry in its widest sense, {1} andwhen not professedly irreligious, has been too much and too long...
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....

办公室夜惊魂下班后,我搭乘捷运回到住处,才想起刚买来不久的幼兔,放在办公桌的抽屉里,那么小的一只兔子,要是晚上饿坏了没东西吃或是太冷了,该怎么办?不行,我一定得把小兔带回来!于是,我打电话给阿芬,因为公司钥匙是她在保管。阿芬从电话那头问我说:「什么事那么重要,非得要在这个时候回公司?」我只好推说:「因为有份报告我忘了拿,经理要我明天一早就要交出来,所以才要托拜妳!」阿芬在电话那头冷冷地说:「妳知道为什么每次我设定完保全系统之后,就马上离开那儿吗?」我不明白她这话是什么意思。她等不及我的反应又说:「因为公司一到了晚上,就会完全变了样!」我说阿芬啊…妳不帮我就算了,不要拿这种话来吓唬我嘛!于是阿芬拗不过我的请求,只好答应陪我一道回公司。...
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
