今日大寒，农历年的最后一个节气了，刚好托老这首长诗「The Trees of Kortirion」也摘录到了最后一段，一如既往，这段包含了未被忘记的往昔美好，以及深刻的伤感，真是太令人着迷……

Here on the stones and trees there lies a spell
Of unforgotten loss, of memory more blest

Than mortal wealth. Here undefeated dwell
The Folk Immortal under withered elms,
Alalminórë once in ancient realms.
—J. R. R. Tolkien, The Trees of Kortirion https://t.cn/z82Hc3i

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

我相信任何事情的发生都是有原因的。人们会改变，所以你才能学会放手；事情会出错，所以当它们还处于对的时候，你才会重视它们；你相信谎言常有，所以你最终学会了只相信自己；有时候，美好的事物分崩离析是为了让更美好的事物出现在一起。

句 Marilyn Monroe

book she lives
book she lies

我觉得很有意思的是，书架bookshelves这一个单词，学生会写出这么多种。书籍里藏着谎言，藏着生活，藏着自私。我也确实认为when she reads she really learns how to be selfish and free.

上海永久很快就要成为永久的回忆了。我在心里认真的数着四月离开的倒计时。
