On the Feeling of Immortality in youth有感于青春常在

No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother’s, and a fine one. There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own -- The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us
Death. old age. are words without a meaning. that pass by us like the idea air which we regard not. Others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life”, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. As in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward- Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!-and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us. we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.年轻人不相信自己会死。这是我哥哥的话，可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留，我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现。

死亡，老年，不过是空话，毫无意义；我们听了，只耳边风，全不放在心上。这些事，别人也许经历过，或者可能要承受，但是我们自己，“在灵符护佑下度日”，对于诸如此类脆弱的念头，统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程，极目远眺——向远方的美景欢呼！此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止，我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异；我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号；并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦；我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢；森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。51赚赚---免费注册获得电影网站，同时获得广告收入51赚赚的盈利模式和51赚赚的相关说明【总括，必看！】51赚赚电影站-------怎样找远古无缓冲的电影资源51赚赚电影站---无缓冲网站代码分析和详解【高手晋级篇！必看！】51赚赚增加“贵族”51赚赚---免费注册获得电影网站，同时获得广告收入A我加入51赚赚的一点点建议之使用帮助---早加入早受益11-10B51赚赚官方网站-轻轻松松实现网络赚钱11-10C51赚赚总括介绍 - 视频教程 - 优酷视频 - 在线观看11-10D51赚赚增加“贵族”11-09E51赚赚电影站---无缓冲网站代码分析和详解【高手晋级篇！必看！】11-09F51赚赚电影站-------怎样找远古无缓冲的电影资源11-09G51赚赚计算收入的方式------关于最近计费模式的更改的公告11-09H51赚赚的盈利模式和51赚赚的相关说明【总括，必看！】11-09I51赚赚以后发展计划---让你拥有自己的电影网站11-09爱情片专辑(1)体育精彩视频(2)幽默搞笑专辑(2)張帝专辑(2)社會資訊(3)举个例子凤凰卫星影院电影网站：http://fenghuang.51zhuanzhuan.com/一个女人三次被GAY甩的真实经历....10-27 8小时调情：办公室暧昧男女中有你吗？10-27 当男人不再爱女人10-27 男人总是记住让他哭的女人，女人总是记得让她笑的男人10-27 痛苦的挣扎10-27调查网赚精选：http://wwwi.banzhu.net/column/wwwi-10.html上传视频就赚钱：http://wwwi.banzhu.net/column/wwwi-17.html投票网赚：http://wwwi.banzhu.net/column/wwwi-15.html凤凰卫星电视：http://wwwi.banzhu.net/column/wwwi-44.html晚八点娱乐网：http://www.ylwan8.com.cn/怎样用已有的博客来推广新的博客：http://boocai.blog.bokee.net/《谈谈性，恋恋爱》：http://hexun.com/9027739/default.html加入电影网赚广告费：http://wwwr.116866.com/我点点 提高广告点击率/提高流量/挂机赚钱 的专家http://englishcornerw.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post.html广告联盟大全：http://wwwi.banzhu.net/column/wwwi-22.html酷溜网也赚钱：http://v.ku6.com/ying8爆米花网赚钱方法：http://home.pomoho.com/9795443.shtml0 && image.height>0){if(image.width>=700){this.width=700;this.height=image.height*700/image.width;}}">英语角Englishcorner 晚八点娱乐网晚八点小说网晚八点热点新闻网晚八点免费资源网凤凰卫星影院0 && image.height>0){if(image.width>=700){this.width=700;this.height=image.height*700/image.width;}}"> 0 && image.height>0){if(image.width>=700){this.width=700;this.height=image.height*700/image.width;}}">张帝专集
