The Ballad of East and West
Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West border, breed, birth, When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth! - Rudyard Kipling 西乃西時東乃東，兩處不相逢， 至審判日，大地對長空； 異極兩雄迎面立，再無疆界劃西東， 生來平等，養育也應同！ -竹本郎，調寄琴調相思引

Poetry To Celia – Ben Johnson Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss within the cup, And I'll not ask for wine. 用妳的眼波邀我共醉， 我將凝眸相隨。 留一個吻，在琥珀杯中， 我不再呼酒，卻已醉意矇矓。 The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sip, I would not change for thine. 心苗待滋潤， 靈犀已暗通， 讓我捨卻瓊漿仙釀， 淺斟秋水深瞳。
