2.Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,Wishing I had this man's skill and that man's freedom.With what I most enjoy contented least;I am least contented with what I used to enjoy most.Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,But, with these thoughts – almost despising myself,Haply I think on thee, and then my state,I, by chance, think of you and then my melancholy Like to the lark at break of day arising Like the lark at the break of day, rises From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
From the dark earth and (I) sing hymns to heaven;For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings For thinking of your love brings such happiness That then I scorn to change my state with kings.That then I would not change my position in life with kings.
(Shakespeare Sonnet 29)
3."May I speak of our old, worn love, this last time. It, too, is changing, is it not? Say, has not the body of that love died, and left you its invulnerable soul? You see, I can give you a spirit love, I have given it you this long, long time; but not embodied passion. See, you are a nun. I have given you what I would give a holy nun - as a mystic monk to a mystic nun. Surely you esteem it best. Yet you regret - no, have regretted - the other. In all our relations no body enters. I do not talk to you through the senses - rather through the spirit. That is why we cannot love in the common sense. Ours is not an everyday affection. As yet we are mortal, and to live side by side with one another would be dreadful, for somehow with you I cannot long be trivial, and, you know, to be always beyond this mortal state would be to lose it. If people marry, they must live together as affectionate humans, who may be commonplace with each other without feeling awkward - not as two souls. So I feel it."Ought I to send this letter? - I doubt it. But there - it is best to understand. Au revoir."
(Sons and Lovers   D.H. Lawrence)
4.Uncle Tom's Cabin 女奴隶抱着孩子跑那段,选读书上有
5.Anecdote of the Jar  by :Wallace Stevens
6.During two long weeks Tom lay a prisoner, dead to the world and its happenings. He was very ill, he was interested in nothing. When he got upon his feet at last and moved feebly down-town, a melancholy change had come over everything and every creature. There had been a "revival," and everybody had "got religion," not only the adults, but even the boys and girls. Tom went about, hoping against hope for the sight of one blessed sinful face, but disappointment crossed him everywhere. He found Joe Harper studying a Testament, and turned sadly away from the depressing spectacle. He sought Ben Rogers, and found him visiting the poor with a basket of tracts. He hunted up Jim Hollis, who called his attention to the precious blessing of his late measles as a warning. Every boy he encountered added another ton to his depression; and when, in desperation, he flew for refuge at last to the bosom of Huckleberry Finn and was received with a Scriptural quotation, his heart broke and he crept home and to bed realizing that he alone of all the town was lost, forever and forever.
(The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain)
