Episode: 美文阅读 | 春晓 The Spring Dawn (孟浩然)
Description: Opening Quote
When the ground was partially bare of snow, and a few warm days had dried its surface somewhat, it was pleasant to compare the first tender signs of the infant year just peeping forth with the stately beauty of the withered vegetation which had withstood the winterdecent weeds, at least, which widowed Nature wears. (Henry David Thoreau)
雪化了，土地是黑的。黑色的土地里，长出了茵陈蒿。碧绿。葡萄藤露出来了，乌黑的。有的梢头已经绽开了芽苞，吐出指甲大的苍白的小叶。它已经等不及了。（汪曾祺）
