That pool under the shade of elm trees Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; Sh...

It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. 不管是你得到的或是你欠别人的，可你的财产、名誉和权势也都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。 Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies wil...

The smile “I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. “I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him ’Have you got a light?’ He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. “As he came close and lit...
