旧版本 新版本 1 And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. 2 And he said: 3 1 Your children are not your children. 4 Your children are not your children. 3 They come through you but not from you, 6 They come through you but not from you, 4 And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. 7 And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. 5 You may give them your love but not your thought 8 9 You may give them your love but not your thoughts, 6 For they have their own thoughts. 10 For they have their own thoughts. 7 You may house their bodies but not their soul 11 You may house their bodies but not their souls, 8 For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, 12 For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. 9 Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. 13 10 You may strive to be like them, 14 You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. 11 But seek not to make them like you, 12 For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. 15 For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. 13 You are the bows from which your children 16 You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. 14 As living arrows are sent forth. 17 The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. 15 The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, 18 16 And He bends you with His might, 17 That His arrows may go swift and far. 18 Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; 19 Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; 19 For even as He loves the arrow that flies, 20 For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. 20 So He loves also the bow that is stable. - 2年前 传灯 添加了初始版本
