Let’s enjoy a poem.
Who Has Seen the Wind?
Who Has Seen the Wind?
—By Christina Rossetti
(1830 –1894, an English poet)
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you.
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I.
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
He who doubts the existence of God should turn his face to the wind.
For though the wind is invisible to the naked eye,
it can be felt and heard, and even seen by looking at its effect on all the earth.

I seek but seek in vain,
I search and search again;
I feel so sad , so drear,
so lonely, without cheer.
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。
《声声慢》-- 李清照
If winter comes,
can spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
--- Ode to the west wind
冬天来了,
春天还会远吗?
《西风颂》-- 雪莱
Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
轻轻的我走了，正如我轻轻的来； 我轻轻的招手，作别西天的云彩。
《再别康桥》--- 徐志摩
If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased,
Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!
问君能有几多愁，恰是一江春水向东流。
《虞美人》--- 李煜
How long will the bright moon appear? Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
明月几时有？把酒问青天 不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？
《水调歌头》-- 苏轼
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
众里寻他千百度， 蓦然回首， 那人却在， 灯火阑珊处。
《青玉案·元夕》辛弃疾

Facing the Sea With Spring Blossoms
面朝大海，春暖花开
From tomorrow on, I will be a happy man.
Grooming, chopping and traveling all over the world.
From tomorrow on, I will care foodstuff and vegetable.
Living in a house towards the sea, with spring blossoms.
从明天起，做一个幸福的人
喂马，劈柴，周游世界。
从明天起，关心粮食和蔬菜
我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花开
From tomorrow on, write to each of my dear ones.
Telling them of my happiness.
What the lightening of happiness has told me.
I will spread it to each of the them.
从明天起，和每一个人通信
告诉他们我的幸福
那幸福的闪电告诉我的。
我将告诉每一个人
Given a warm name
for every river and every mountain,
Strangers, I will also wish you happy.
May you have a brilliant future!
陌生人我也为你祝福
给每一条河每一座山
取一个温暖的名字
愿你有一个灿烂的前程
May you lovers eventually become spouses!
May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!
I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.
愿有情人终成眷属
愿你们在尘世获得幸福
我只愿面朝大海，春暖花开
