[交流] Sentences from Sand and Foam

Recently,I am reading a book《Sand and Foam》.

I‘d like to share some sentences of the book with everybody.


1.Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower.
Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.

2.If all they say of good and evil were true, then my life is but one long crime.
如果他们所说的善和恶是对的话,那我的生命只不过是一宗长期的罪行。

3.Rememberance is a form of meeting.

记忆是相聚的一种形式。
忘怀是自由的一种形式。

4.I long for eternity because there I shall meet my unwriten poems and my unpaid pictures.

5.There is a space between man's imagination and man's attainment that may only be traversed by his longing.
在理想和现实之间存在的差距,只能靠一个人的渴望来连接。

20.When I stood a clear mirror before you, you gazed into me and saw your image.
Then you said:" I love you."
But in truth you loved yourself in me.
当我化为一面明镜站在你面前时,你凝视着我,看到了你自己的形象。
然后你说:“我爱你."
但事实上你不过是爱镜中的自己。

21.Solitude is a silent storm that break down all our dead branches;
Yet it send our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.
孤独是一场吹落我们枯枝的沉默的风暴。
但它把我们鲜活的根深植于鲜活土地的鲜活心脏之中。

22.When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
当你到达生命之心的时候,你会发现所有事物的美好,甚至是在无视美好的人眼中

nice sentences

《Sand and Foam》may be considered as a collection of mottoes.
The sentences have not only the rhythmic beauty of poetry but also the  philosophic thoughts. This book is one that is worth to read, chewed and digested.
