一个人的心脏只有拳头那么大，快乐装得多一点，痛苦自然就装得少一点。人活着毕竟不是为了历尽磨难痛苦终生，而只是在获取快乐和幸福的过程中不得不与苦难抗争而已。

If Recollecting¹ Were Forgetting

如果记住就是忘却

If recollecting were forgetting,

Then I remember not.

And if forgetting, recollecting,

How near I had forgot.

And if to miss, were merry,

And to mourn, were gay,

How very blithe² the fingers

That gathered this, Today!

如果记住就是忘却，

我将不再回忆，

如果忘却就是记住，

那我是多么接近于忘却。

如果思念是喜悦，

而哀伤也是喜悦，

那么手指该是何等欢快，

因为今天，它们已经把这些全部采撷。
