Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?

  • -- Henry David Thoreau 亨利·大卫·梭罗

每个人都投下阴影;不仅是他的身体,还有他那不完全融合的精神。这是他的悲伤。任凭他往哪个方向转,日头就向哪个方向落;中午短,晚上长。你没见过吗?
