Perhaps most famous for his children’s stories about Christopher Robin and his stuffed bear, Winnie the Pooh, Alan Alexander Milne was a patriotic Englishman with a never-ending imagination. After attending Cambridge where he studied mathematics, Milne wrote for and later edited Punch Magazine in London. He later served in World War I as a signalman, and upon returning home, dedicated himself to writing. He wrote more than 25 plays, 10 books of nonfiction, seven novels, five children’s books, and four books of poetry. His children’s books were particularly popular, but became such a symbol of his work, that he sometimes had difficulty in his later years getting adult audiences to take seriously his more mature work.
A.A.Milne(1882-1956)
Langston Hughes was one of the most important writers and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance, the African-American art movement of the 1920s. The Harlem Renaissance was a celebration of black life and culture. Hughes's writing was influenced by his life in Harlem, New York City, a predominantly African American neighborhood. His literary works helped shape American literature and politics. Like other artists active in the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes had a strong sense of racial pride; Through his poems, novels, plays, essays, and children's books, he promoted equality, cursed racism and injustice, and celebrated the culture, humor, and spirituality of African Americans
lgernon Charles Swinburne was born April 5, 1837 in Grosvenor Place, London, but spent most of his boyhood on the Isle of Wight, where both his parents and grandparents had homes. With Shelley and Byron, he is one of the very few poets since the days of Raleigh and Sidney to come from the aristocracy: his father was an admiral and his maternal grandfather the third earl of Ashburnham. He was very close to his other grandfather, who was born and brought up in France and continued to think and dress like a French nobleman of the ancien régime (the days before the Revolution). He and the poet's mother trained young Algernon in French and Italian.

梦想
紧紧抓住梦想,
因为一旦梦想消亡
生活就像折断翅膀的小鸟
无法自由翱翔。

因为一旦梦想离开
生活就会变成贫瘠荒芜的土地
只有冰雪覆盖。

配偶
如果爱情好似香艳的玫瑰,
而我好似它的叶片青翠,
我们的生命将在一起生长
无论天气阴暗,或者晴朗,
处在开花的原野,或者花径,
感受绿色的欢乐,或者灰色的苦闷; 如果爱情好似香艳的玫瑰,
而我好似它的叶片青翠。
阿尔加侬·查尔斯·斯温伯恩
