Much to Live For 生命的追求——原声版2011年1月号美文 2011-1-13 Much to Live For ?生命的追求There is so much I have not been, so much I have not seen. I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the seasonal delight of flocks of ducks and geese in flight, the mysteries of late-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within myself—as peace of mind, patience, grace and being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam, the fields, the hills, the hope, the dreams, the truth that one must seek.

It had said plainly enough that Thunder was the word for 1)tyranny and pain. It must have a new name, then. He walked round, keeping his shadow behind, looking at the horned blaze under the blowing 2)forelock.“Oxhead,” he said, falling into Macedonian, the speech of truth and love. “Boukephalas, Boukephalas.”The horse’s ears went up. At the sound of this voice, the hated presence had lost power and been driven away. What now? It had lost all trust in men. It 3)snorted, and pawed the ground in warning.Alexander said to the groom, “I’ll take him. You needn’t wait.”“Oh, no, sir! When you’re mounted, my lord.
