【释义】金属之所以被折断,是因为其太过刚硬了,流水之所以能保全,是因为其柔和;高山之所以被挖掘,是因为其高大,而山谷之所以能安全无事,是因为其低下。【延伸】刚强耿直的人,容易受挫折、遭打击;柔和无争的人,则能够保全自己。刚强的克星,是温柔。
"What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music."
人们并不懒惰。他们只是有无力的目标——也就是说,那些不能激励他们的目标。
