Have you heard of the giant Amerian poet Whitman (first name may be Paul?), and Thuroll (I can't remember his last name exact spelling, wine factor, oh well...)?........
Z-far, the giant American poet, you meant Walt Whitman, right? To be honest, I know nothing about poetry, neither English nor Chinese. I remembered in the old days when I read those Chinese classic novels, Jouney To the West(西游记), Romance of the Three Kingdons(三国演义), All Men Are Brothers(水浒传) and others as a boy, I always skipped the poems because I was more interesting in the stories. Although I did not see any obvious connection between Whitman to Walden Pond, Henry David Thoreau, a great American writer of the same era (19th century) was known as Walden Writer. Thoreau was born 1817 (two years older than Walt Whitman) at Concord, Mass. He built his house in the woodland of Walden Pond, where he wrote his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack River.
Z-far, 那伟大美国诗人，是華尓特.伟特文，对吧？老实说，我对诗，不管中文戓英文，都是一窍不通。小时候看古典小说，西游记, 三国菀?水浒传及其他，总會绕过那些诗。。。故事情节对我更吸引些。虽然我看不到诗人伟特文与華尓頓水塘(Walden Pond)有明显关连，同年代的(十九世纪)伟大作家亨特利.大衛.所罗就被称之为華尓頓水塘作家。他生于1817(比華尓特.伟特文大两岁) 麻省Concord镇，后来他在華尓頓水塘林子地里盖了个房子，并在那起草了他第一本书
BigPaul,
You amaze me, your intellects. Thanks for all the corrections. I never claim, or dare to think, that I am any smarter than you. We are different, as we should, among all of us, Class78, and beyound (Yes, we share different school, besides Class78)...
Still, the profound notion of living life to the fullest, individuality vs conformist..., the very essence of Whitman/Thereau... was not conveyed to Class78. Well, what can I say, I was only exposed to their poetry by way of a movie, \"the Dead Poet Society\", and I still explore my daily journey in that respect...
Let's examine this when we are in our 60's. At the moment, we all have our other pressing issues to deal with...thank you, you are the wind beneath my wind...
