一個人的心臟只有拳頭那么大，快樂裝得多一點，痛苦自然就裝得少一點。人活著畢竟不是為了歷盡磨難痛苦終生，而只是在獲取快樂和幸福的過程中不得不與苦難抗爭而已。

If Recollecting Were Forgetting

如果記住就是忘卻

If recollecting were forgetting,

Then I remember not.

And if forgetting, recollecting,

How near I had forgot.

And if to miss, were merry,

And to mourn, were gay,

How very blithe the fingers

That gathered this, Today!

如果記住就是忘卻，

我將不再回憶，

如果忘卻就是記住，

那我是多么接近于忘卻。

如果思念是喜悅，

而哀傷也是喜悅，

那么手指該是何等歡快，

因為今天，它們已經把這些全部采擷。
