Love is Patient

Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind;
love has no envy;
love has no high opinion of itself,
love has no pride;
愛是恆久忍耐，又有恩慈
愛是不嫉妒；愛是不自誇，不張狂

Love's ways are ever fair,
it takes no thought for itself;
it is not quickly made angry,
it takes no account of evil;
不做害羞的事
不求自己的益處
不輕易發怒
不計算人的惡

It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing,
but has joy in what is true;
Love has the power of undergoing all things,
having faith in all things, hoping all things.
不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐

Though the prophet's word may come to an end,
tongues come to nothing,
and knowledge have no more value,
love has no end.
雖然先知的言詞終必過去
口舌之能終必停止
知識的價值終必消失
但愛是永不止息的。

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
歌林多前書 13:4-8

Desert Rose

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sting ft. Cheb Mami / Desert Rose

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I colse my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

嘿然無聲，此為何名？

「有鳥止南方之阜，三年不翅、不飛、不鳴，嘿然無聲，此為何名?」　

「三年不翅，將以長羽翼；不飛不鳴，將以觀民則。雖無飛，飛必沖天；雖無鳴，鳴必驚人。子釋之，不穀知之矣」

《韓非子．喻老第二十一》
