“RICHER THAN GOLD” You may have tangible wealth untold; Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be -- I had a mother who read to me.
“比黃金更富有”
你也許有不為人知的有形財富;
許多的珠寶和黃金。
但你永遠不會比我更富有…
我曾有一個為我說故事的母親
巴爾札克﹝Honore de Balzac,1799-1850﹞:
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
