They tell of the danger that lurks on the steep slopes of grass, where the mowers have to go down with ropes around their waists, and in the beds of the streams where the floods sweep through in the spring, and in the forests where the great trees fall and crush men like flies, and on the icy bridges where a slip is fatal, and on the high passes where the winter snowstorm blinds the eyes and benumbs the limbs of the traveller, and under the cliffs from which avalanches slide and rocks roll. They show you men and women falling from waggons, and swept away by waters, and overwhelmed in land-slips. In the corner of the picture you may see a peasant with the black cross above his head--that means death. Or perhaps it is deliverance that the tablet commemorates--and then you will see the miller kneeling beside his mill with a flood rushing down upon it, or a peasant kneeling in his harvest-field under an inky-black cloud, or a landlord beside his inn in flames, or a mother praying beside her sick children; and above appears an angel, or a saint, or the Virgin with her Child.

梅梅，你可曾爱过我？我的直觉告诉我你是爱我的，可为什么我在你眼中看到了可笑，看到了无奈，也看到了疲倦？爱是有期限的，可是我对你的爱却变得那么一文不值！竟然一点点的期限也不曾给我！你告诉我你可曾爱过我！我问你我在你的眼中算是什么东西？你说可以依靠的人是违心的，最讨厌的人也是违心的！我以为陪伴是最长情的告白，结果一天比一天难受，煎熬变成了我每天不断体会的日子！你知不知道？你这样迟早会将我的耐心磨尽，然后我会将你彻底尘封在心里的深处，并一点点的减少我对你的记忆！我的伤痛有谁能知？也许只有我抱起我的吉他我才会觉得安心吧！抬头望天，也许是荒凉，也许是无奈，而更多的是我对你的思念。。。。。。
