:纪伯伦 —致我们终将远离的子女

　　因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。

　　You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

　　你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。

　　The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

　　弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶，

　　and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

　　他用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。

　　Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness，

　　怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，

　　For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
