Moral Teaching
What is the theme or moral of this short story
Compare the following poems.
逝者如斯夫
春江潮水连海平,海上明月共潮生。
百川东到海,何时复西归?
How I would love your deep resounding,
The primal chasm's muffled voice,
How in your vesper calm rejoice,
And in your sudden, reckless bounding!
The fisher's lowly canvas slips,
By your capricious favor sheltered,
Undaunted down your breakers' lips:
Yet by your titan romps have weltered
And foundered droves of masted ships.
我多么热爱你的回音,
热爱你阴沉的声调,你的深渊的音响,
还有那黄昏时分的寂静,
和那反复无常的激情!
渔夫们的温顺的风帆,
靠了你的任性的保护,
在波涛之间勇敢地飞航; 但当你汹涌起来而无法控制时,
大群的船只就会覆亡。
