It was only about 4 months from the day when we first met to the day when we got married, which is why we need spending life time together to know each other:))). Happy 26th wedding anniversary, my beloved! “To grow old along with me, the best yet to be” (Robert Browning).
(作者:卡蒙斯,译者:肖佳平)
我都愿你拿去,
只求你给我留下一双眼睛,
让我能看到你。
在我的身上,
没有不曾被你征服的东西,
你夺去了它的生命,
也就将它的死亡携去。
如果我还须失掉什么,
但愿你将我带去,
只求你给我留下一双眼睛,
让我能看到你。
(by Elizabeth Barrett Browning )
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight.
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
