ODE: INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY FROM RECOLLECTIONS
OF EARLY CHILDHOOD

釋意paraphrase): XI

原文與注釋(Text and Annotation)


It is my hope that nature will not foreshadow any cutting off of our relationship of love. Yet in the innermost part of me I feel nature's power. I have only given up one pleasure in order to live beneath her more constant influence. I love the brooks which ripple down their beds even more than when I ran as lightly as they did. The clouds gather round the setting sun and take on a sober coloring from the eye that has kept watch ove rman's mortality. Another contest has been, another victory has been won. I give thanks to the human heart by which we live,to its tenderness, its joys and fears. To me the smallest flower that blossoms can give thoughts that are often too deep for tears.
